Make the Holidays More Festive with Christmas Decorations

With the end of Thanksgiving comes elaborate Christmas decorations in retail stores across the nation. Although many stores decorate to inspire more spending, their Christmas décor also resonates a holiday spirit that reaches individual homes. Whether you decorate a tree or transform your house into a holiday wonderland, Christmas decorating is a fun way to kindle Christmas cheer among family and friends.

Homemade Christmas Decorations


Making Christmas crafts is a strong part of the Christmas tradition, from personalized Christmas cards to Christmas wreaths. Remember those handmade ornaments parents treasure for years?

Christmas decorating with homemade crafts adds a unique touch to any Christmas décor. If you traditionally hang lights on your tree, try incorporating some Christmas cookies as Christmas ornaments this year. Or, if you generally dress your house in lights, make a Christmas wreath for your front door.

Christmas Decorations for Kids


While children are generally excited about Christmas presents during the holidays, they also relish the opportunity to celebrate the season by decorating for Christmas. Get your children involved in making Christmas wreaths and ornaments.

Other Christmas decorations that are easy and fun for children include paper chains and snowflakes, popcorn chains, and Christmas cards. If your child's grade school is throwing a Holiday party, help with decorating the classroom: children can decorate Christmas stockings to take home and put over the fireplace on Christmas Eve.

Outdoor Christmas Decorations


Aside from decorating a tree and hanging stockings on the fireplace, many choose to decorate the outside of their homes to bring the Christmas spirit to their neighbors.

Outdoor Christmas décor can include anything from plastic Santas to poinsettias. However, if you are decorating for Christmas on your front lawn, you may want to choose a theme and build a whole scene. Some popular ideas include Santa's toyshop, the Grinch, and the nativity scene.

Christmas Lighting


Christmas lights are among the most popular and traditional Christmas decorations. Whether candles, rope lights, or outdoor Christmas lights are used, lighting plays a key role in Christmas holiday décor.

However, as with any aspect of Christmas decorating, safety is always a priority. When hanging Christmas lights, replace all broken bulbs and check insulating cords and sockets for damage.
