This year we took a more relaxed approach to Christmas decorating. Instead of a front door garland, like last year, we opted for a wreath. We decorated every room in the house although lightly though. Small indoor planted Norfolk pine trees were displayed in the dining room and kitchen. While a bigger tree was decorated in our TV room where we spend most time at nights.
As the days approach for Christmas eve, fingers crossed a snowed one, I get more and more excited about this special time of year. It never gets old, everything from the Christmas carols, the rushing of Christmas presents, the planning of what to make for dinner to the expectations of the new year, every year is as new as it can get. And little other things throughout the year make up for this, the most wonderful time of the year.
Much of the anticipation and happiness of the holiday comes from the Christmas decorations so to say that decorating during the holiday is a good idea is an understatement. So while we all plan for our smaller gathering dinner this year, let’s spruce up our homes with the right amount of decor, from a wreath above our range hoods, and garlands around our fire places to big and mighty Christmas trees.
Lovely and simple, this black door is framed by a cedar garland with subtle Christmas lights.
