Christmas Decorating Tips
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?!
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.
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.
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
ReplyDeleteHey there, Linda. It’s so motivating to hear your kind words. This is wonderful. Thank you for visiting and for commenting today. I agree with you, Christmas is coming way too fast . . . for me. Your decorations sound beautiful. I love it! Merry Christmas to you and the family!
DeleteDo 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.
ReplyDeleteVery good tip about watering the tree. I've seen clips of how fast a fire can go through a dried-out Christmas tree.
