Why Christmas is the Best Time of the Year to Decorate

Christmas tends to be a favorite holiday for many families. It is a time when people gather together, share traditions, and make lifelong memories. Christmas decorations in your home add beautiful elements to the festivities that can awaken your senses and add even more layers to the wonderful season. Christmas is also a time where “anything goes” when it comes to decorating by Collections Etc.. There are no strict rules that must be followed, no strict color schemes that have to be adhered to, nor is there a rule to how much decorating you have to do. Having your home filled with soft lights, delicious scents, a fresh Christmas tree, special music, and fabulous food make the time of year absolutely magical.


When we think of Christmas decorations, the first thing that tends to come to mind is the fresh tree that we hand select and drag into the house. The sensation of that fresh pine at your fingertips as well as the overwhelmingly wonderful smell, as you lovingly decorate it with ornaments is both invigorating and calming at the same time. You can decorate your tree however you want. Some families like to make handmade ornaments or string beads and popcorn for their tree. Others like to follow a theme such as a favorite sports team or cartoon characters. Still others like to put trees in every room of the house. Between the twinkling lights and the fresh smell, it really will not matter what you put on your tree, as it is almost guaranteed to be beautiful.

Some families put up a Christmas tree and call it a day, that’s enough decorating. Still others like to go all out. That means pulling out the ladder and climbing up on the roof to install lights and decorations outside. What’s popular in your neighborhood? You can do all white lights and just highlight the outline of your home. Or, you can put up colored lights along with inflatable snow globes on the lawn along with Santa and his reindeer on the roof. Once you get started on your outdoor Christmas decorations, you just might motivate your neighbors to do the same. Before you know it, your street will be full of cars as family’s joyride through the neighborhood to check out the lovely sights.

Now that you have your home decorated, the next logical thing to do is turn on some holiday music and invite your family and friends to come celebrate with you. It seems to be an understood rule that most people do not count calories in December or step foot on the scale. You can save that for the New Year’s resolution. For the meantime, enjoy those forbidden appetizers and desserts that you only eat once a year. As you gather with your loved ones in your beautifully decorated home, enjoy the music, food, and festivities.
