Surprise Your Family And Friends Withamazing Xmas Decorations

By Giselle Taylor


August, September, October, November, December! Finally, months that don't begin with the letter D seems so slow when you're in it, don't you agree? Yes, I know December is the only D month (you catch on quickly) and truly, it is perhaps the most anticipated one of the year. If you want to bring on the holidays, what are you waiting for? Head on to the christmas tree shop and let the festivities begin.

Christmas trees are one of the most familiar faces in the holiday landscape. Make your own tree special by making it personal to you. How so? Xmas decorations are not contained to the traditional and expensive. You can collect family photos and string it up with little tokens of milestones shared. You might have to get tissue ready for joyful tears and laugh and roll around the floor incidents. Keep it as pretty and sparkling as you can.

A well decorated living room is good, but a spectacularly decked out home is better. Place attractive wreathes on doors to welcome guests and tinsel garlands onto walls. Take several miniature christmas trees and adorn it with little metallic kiss chocolates and candy canes. When your children's friends come over to visit, guess who will be the most popular kid in school tomorrow?

Do not forget to leave your stockings by the chimney. If you have no fireplace to hang them on, put them by the wall or stairwell - prominently displayed so Santa wont have a hard time looking around for them. Tie pretty silk ribbons and flowers by the windows and lamps. Oh and before I forget, buy your mistletoes and keep them in a strategic spot by the doorway.

For those with extra time in their hands, homemade Xmas decorations are excellent projects you can do this season. Not only will you save money, it will lend a homey and cozy feel to where you decide to put it. Go with a color scheme to tie the over-all look together. You can do little christmas baskets intertwined with pretty flowers and aromatic herbs. Even simpler, fasten bells and excess trimmings on stockings and yuletide appropriate figurines.

And of course we can't forget the front lawn right? This is a lot of space to go wild about. Do'nt hold back with your ideas, let them flow freely. Be colorful and over the top, its Christmas anyway. It doesn't have to be expensive; but you will need to have fun. Draw big images of stars or anything Christmas related, and spray paint it with glitter. Purchase those Styrofoam balls in many sizes and assemble them into party loving Snowmen in your yard.

Christmas is no excuse to be lax in taking safety precautions though. Be aware especially of anything electrical that you decide to use. Do not put liquids near electrical Xmas decorations. Do not keep the christmas lights blinking all night long. Ensure that the step ladders you use are safe and as much as you are able, decorate with a friend nearby for any emergencies.

And of course, love. Christmas is Christmas because there is love. Put this vital ingredient in all that you do and you will find that it is truly a magical time of the year. Enjoy all that life has to offer, Happy holidays!
