Simple Ideas for Christmas Decorating

By Dana Michelle Burnett


This is the season for Christmas decorating, yet do you think you're prepared? Do you really loathe the concept of the hassle, the mess, and the cost? Enjoy the season once again with some great ideas for Christmas Decorating.

Your Christmas Tree: Are you sick and tired of the unexciting glass balls? For a change, think about decorating with candy canes and matching ribbon only. Instead of a star, have you thought to use a group of Christmas candy canes at the top. If you're really creative, work with sheer wrapping paper to cover Styrofoam balls so they resemble holiday candy pieces and create a garland of goodies.

Fireplaces: Generally a focal point of Christmas scenes, decorating the fireplace can feel overwhelming. Keep it easy by hanging stockings on the mantel. Regardless of whether you never place anything at all inside of them, just by hanging there they create a sense of holiday festivity. This is easily among the most classic ideas for Christmas decorating, but still just as effective as it was in years past.

Holiday Dining Room: To include some twinkle to your dining room table, fill up a basic glass bowl with multi-colored glass ornaments. (If you adopted the tips above, you will have plenty left over!) This brings a decorative holiday touch without the predictable poinsettias. If you prefer not to use glass balls, why not use tinsel and candy canes?

Windows: Give a joyful look to your windows by making large bows from holiday themed ribbon and attaching them as tie backs to your window treatments. This sudden splash of seasonal color adds a new twist to decorating for the season.

Now that you have a few ideas for Christmas Decorating, why not get started and actually try enjoying it this year.
