Really Now! . . . Christmas Already?!

Christmas Decorating Tips

                                                                                            My Photo-2012
Here we are, December 11th already, and Christmas is just around the corner. I’m NOT ready! Are you? Trying to get ready and get myself in the mood, I started thinking about where to start searching for my Christmas decorations. Ummm . . . where in the middle of all this unpacked stuff, could they possibly be?!

 While thinking about it, I checked-out a blog I started and removed from public view about Christmas Decorations & Ideas. I found some fun . . .

Christmas Decorating Tips

1.   Choose simple Christmas centerpieces. They look great despite the fact they are plain. A few candles and some red bows will transform them into instantly elegant pieces.

2.   A fast and super- easy way to decorate and add a warm holiday touch is to use a small pre-lit Christmas tree that comes already decorated. Put one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom.

3.   Arrange your Christmas figurines and candles in groups for a stunning effect. Groups of 3 or 5 will make your mantel more interesting and appealing.


4.   Water your live Christmas tree daily so it won’t dry out and become a fire hazard.

5.   Don’t limit your decorations to your Christmas tree. Use some ornaments and bows to decorate other large house plants.

Hopefully, these few tips will get your inspiration juices flowing and get you in the mood for decorating your home for Christmas.

  1. Yep, Christmas is coming at me too fast also. My son and his wife put an artificial garland up their inside staircase that already has lights in it. This year they hooked some of their multitude of ornaments on that garland. Looks pretty cute. Have a Merry Christmas. Linda in Kansas

  2. Do you have a cat? Christmas must be a bonanza for cats, so many new things for them to knock over or push off of shelves. The mini Christmas trees will need to be well anchored since a cat can take down even a full-size one.

    Very good tip about watering the tree. I've seen clips of how fast a fire can go through a dried-out Christmas tree.
