Christmas Decorating Ideas
Along with the Christmas
festivities comes the desire to decorate your home with twinkling lights,
wreaths, trees and even yard ornaments featuring the theme of the
holidays. If you want to make your next
Christmas decorating venture a real holiday treat, consider the following
ideas:
Homemade Wreath
Decorations
Create your own lighted
wreath by taking a short strand of mini-lights and wrapping them around a plain
wreath. You can use either multi-color
or clear lights, and this approach can easily be used for both indoor wreaths
and garland decorations.
Creating A Modern
Centerpiece With Classic Holiday Style
Use a clear glass vase or
bowl as a centerpiece and fill it with round glass ornaments. For Christmas, the combination of silver and
gold or red and green will be ideal.
When paired with the beauty of a simplistic glass holder, the ornaments
will add a very modern twist to a very traditional color combination.
Holiday Decorating Scents
A nice bowl of fresh
fruit, including oranges, tangerines and apples will give a nice welcoming
holiday scent to your home. For many,
the smell of fresh fruit is reminiscent of the December season as fruit baskets
are common gifts that are exchanged during Christmas. You can place the bowl on your dining room
table or in the family room, both of which will offer guests the ability to
appreciate your style.
Display Your Christmas
Cards
Take some felt or fabric
and create a hanging decorative piece to show off all of the Christmas cards
you receive. You can use a small safety
pin to attach the cards to the fabric, so that the beauty of the front of the
card is seen. This can be hung on a
wall, or support post or beam or the railing leading up your stairs.
Turn Out The Lights
Turn out your normal overhead
lighting each night, light up the tree and burn candles throughout the house
for a peaceful and relaxing setting.
Watch your favorite Christmas movie, sing carols and just share good
times together.
