Christmas trees are the mood-makers of festive period and one woman has shared a clever hack to decorate the "perfect" tree this season.

The question is, is there a 'perfect' method to decorate the Christmas tree? For many decorating a tree is either a calming family tradition or an easy way to start a war of creative differences.

However, if you are the person screaming, “ONE BAUBLE ONLY PER BRANCH,” you may be the one who has been in the wrong all these years.

During this festive period, Christmas fanatics are sharing their shiny, sparkly, quirky and all-around genius decoration hacks and one such hack has concluded that everyone who only hangs one ornament per branch has been doing it wrong.

The hack easily elevates the decorations from basic to bougie with little effort. A hack by Cosy Christmas’ Facebook page has shown how grouping baubles together will elevate the tree.

The hack is very simple, the hacker grabs a piece of pipe cleaner and threads several baubles onto the wire before placing them on a branch bunched up like a mini-disco-ball of shininess. Captioning the video the hacker wrote: "Save this for later.”

Just under 20k people saved the hack with many sharing their thoughts and loving the hack.

"Beautiful. I prefer clusters of 3," one person shared.

Another added: "What a great idea!"

But the Christmas tree decoration debate didn’t stop there, not everyone was on board. Some argued that the attempt to decorate a Christmas tree "perfectly" was not in the spirit of the season and was missing the message completely.

Those people opted for handmade ornaments that had sentimental meaning to them, ornaments that had been passed down or that their children had made in school, more quirky and unique than "perfect." They described ornaments as an extension of their family memories something an aesthetically decorated tree couldn't replace.

One person said: "My tree is full of memories. Ornaments from vacations, or special occasions. It’s not about aesthetics.”

Others said they prefer a mix-and-match collection on their trees.

Another person added: "Ornaments our children made in school or ornaments we bought at various places or ones left us by my late mother-in-law. It's about family and love and memories."

Agreeing with those who have less aesthetic trees one person said: "My tree is the same. I don't want a tree that looks like something at a shopping mall."
