Christmas is just around the corner. Seriously, we've only got
twenty-three days left until the sleigh bells start ringing. Its kind
of hard to believe that Christmas is so close and I have yet to
finish anything Christmas related! I plan on making all of my
Christmas gifts in the next week or so. I'll be sharing all of my DIY
gift ideas over the next few weeks with you guys.
Five Ways to Decorate Your Home for Christmas
Do
you decorate your house for Christmas? Over the past few years, I
have not decorated my house, but with a new baby in the house I feel
like I am obligated to make his first Christmas the best it can be.
Here are some tips that I have incorporated to share the holiday
spirit in my house.
Decorate Your Tree
Over
the past few years I have put up a tree, but I never really put much
thought into it. This year is different. I am making a number of tree
ornaments that go along with my tree theme. Next week, I will share
my tree theme with you guys (hint: its a book and a movie!). There
are several ways that you can decorate your tree: themes, colors, or
just do whatever you want. Decorating the tree was my favorite
holiday tradition and I hope that Zander loves it just as much as I
do.
Hang the Stockings with Care
I
don't actually have a mantle to hang our stockings on, but I do have
a cute window that will work perfectly. I'm not sure what I'm going
to fill a newborn's stocking with but at least he has one and that is
what really counts!
Nutcrackers
Nutcrackers
remind me of the great holiday play The Nutcracker- three guesses
why. I have always, always, always loved nutcrackers. I even have a
small collection that I have been hoarding for years and years.
Snow Globes
I've never been one for snow globes. I mean, I'm clumsy and
anything that is made out of glass and filled with water just seems
dangerous. But, there are less fragile versions of this old favorite
tradition that doesn't cost anything and is more durable that other
options.
Spread Cheer with Family and Friends
Let's
face it, the holidays are meant to be spent with family and friends.
So, the best way to decorate your home for the holiday season is to
spend time with the people that you love the most. And most
importantly, have fun and enjoy your time with your loved ones.
