Martha Stewart recently stopped by “Today” to drop some words of wisdom for the holidays. The 81-year-old lifestyle icon sat down with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager to discuss her dos and don’ts for the holidays.
Stewart explained that listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving is totally acceptable.
“There are no Thanksgiving songs,” she said.
Should you use an artificial or real Christmas tree?
Stewart said she prefers artificial trees for a number of reasons, including that she doesn’t have to worry about them drying out.
“I absolutely prefer artificial trees now,” she said. “I do not want needles all over my house. I actually set up trees in about four different places on my property and in four different houses.”
Should you use white or colored Christmas lights?
Stewart likes to keep things monochrome in the lights department.
“I prefer all white.”
Should Christmas tree decorations match?
To Stewart, matching is an important part of decorating for the holidays.
“I do gold trees, green trees, red trees, silver trees, pink trees, and they’re orchestrated to be very, very beautiful and have a cohesive design,” she said.
