That's right. You heard me. Christmas is only four months away! So last night before I fell asleep I was watching the QVC Christmas special. They were previewing toys for younger kids from "Santas Workshop". Watching that special made me REALLY excited for christmas to come. I wish it would come sooner (of course im not the one doing all the shopping). I just love the ambience of Christmas time. I love the snow, the decorations, the pretty lights, the amazing holiday dinners, and you cant forget the cookies. =] Im just so excited thinking about it.
Here are a few decorating tips for the holidays-
1. Decorate with Bows. They can be used on backs of chairs, walls, trees, candlesticks, drape tiebacks, stair railings and doorknobs.
2.Use your Holiday tableware for every meal in December to give yourself a break from the usual stuff and to add to the Christmas(y) atmosphere.
3. Turn off the bright lights and light your fireplace and some candles to give a special christmas smell and feel. This will make every meal feel special. Kids and adults can even gather around the fireplace while reading, doing homework or even just being Creative.
4. Hang Holiday wreath's and garland for an outdoorsy kind of feel. You can even buy the spray snow and spray it onto the garland and wreath's to make it look like it snowed inside.
5. Choose a multi-color scheme to decorate your house in. I know that we use reds and golds. Some people use blue and silver to decorated there house too.
6. Choose some lights to hang around the area where the walls and ceiling meet so that way it doesnt take up much space but it gives you a holiday feel in a bedroom or a sitting area.
