* The following steps are made on a PowerPoint 2010 beta program.

1. Choose Organizational Charts

2. Add info for Christmas Family Tree

In the chart you've selected, type in the exact family info of yours. As usual, enter the names of the oldest living relative and his companion into the first text box. Then add the next generation of the couple to the boxes in the second level box(s). Enter the names of their children in the subordinate boxes.

3. Choose Another Chart for Extended Family

If you are going to make a big family tree with stem chart and subordinate charts, you can create new slides for every sibling's family. Perform the previous steps to extend the family line.

4. Color Christmas Family Tree with Pictures and Backgrounds

To illustrate each family member, you can accompany an avatar or photo to every name. Click Insert -> Picture -> Insert Picture from File to choose a picture that best suits that family member. You can drag the border of the image and the text to make it a perfect fit.

Also, don't forget to add a beautiful background for your PowerPoint Family Tree. You can choose one template from the Design tab. To put the family tree with a typical Christmas style, download some free ones at Free Christmas PowerPoint Templates and Backgrounds

5. Vivify Christmas Family Tree by Animations, Music and Movie Clips

To please the ears of your family, get most of these dynamic subtleties - animations, transitions, sound tracks and movie clips. Add animation for shapes in a family tree chart, insert a Christmas carol or song to play across the whole slideshow, and, bring in an old video montage of the family to give a unique touch.
