Bain Desprit Holiday Gift Spa Set Peppermint Christmas Gift Idea for Her

What is it about the Christmas tree? It is the center of our celebration. When we decorate, it is usually the first item put up. If nothing else is displayed as far as holiday adornments go, there will still be a Christmas tree.

Have you thought about turning the tree decorating process into a new family tradition? Here are some tips about how to go about that.

1. Shop for the tree together. This works well for artificial and live trees. There are many varieties of artificial trees and colors as well. For a live tree, take an evening and visit the tree lots and farms in the area to find your special Christmas centerpiece.

2. Make popcorn garland. This was a favorite in centuries past when the country was young and electricity was non-existent. Pop a couple of bags of microwave popcorn. Let two people work on a string from both ends, adding pieces of popcorn. Sit together so that you can talk over holidays past and munch on the extra popcorn.

3. Sing holiday songs. To get into the spirit of the season, have soft instrumental tunes or traditional holiday songs playing in the background. Don’t be afraid to join in and croon a few bars while you decorate the tree.

4. Make a special treat. If you save the tree decorating until the evening, prepare a super sweet dessert to give everyone that burst of energy they need. The tantalizing smells wafting from the oven will motivate everyone to pitch in just so they can eat later.

5. Create home-made decorations. This works well with younger kids. Maybe they can’t hang ornaments or help with the popcorn, but you can teach them to make paper garland. Using construction paper and glue, your kids can create interlocking links to hang on the tree.

6. Have someone place the star on the tree. This is a family tradition that passes down the privilege of crowning the tree from oldest child to youngest and back again. You can use one special star that everyone has agreed they like, or let each person choose a star of their choice when it is their turn to top the tree.

Do you already have some Christmas tree decorating traditions that you observe? If not, here are six ideas to make the occasion more special for the family. Doing things together never gets old and your kids can pass it down to their children one day.

The first thing to do is find a site that offers cheap holidays and begins their process of finding a great package deal. You will enter your information such as departure date, return date, how many adults and children and the type of room you want as well as do you want a direct flight or not. Once you have followed through the process, it may ask you if there are any other things you need to include in your cheap holiday package. This is where you can claim tickets for other things such as attractions, car rentals and meals.

Once you have everything entered, the site will return a report about the cost of the room, airfare and any other options you may have included. It will give you a total price that you can then accept or look for a different deal. If you like the deal they have for a cheap holiday package, you can then confirm the rates and pay with a debt or credit card. You will receive confirmation in the mail about your trip with your itinerary and tickets if you chose this option.

The only thing left to do is wait for the day, pack your clothes and you are on your way to a cheap holiday vacation. You can look at different sites to ensure you are getting the right deal that fits your budget. If the first one is not what you expected, try another site to see if the deal will be more affordable.

‘Tis the season to decorate your home in all the splendor of Christmas. I personally love decorating for the holidays… pulling out all of those bins of forgotten decorations… discovering new items I purchased throughout the year… and falling into deep nostalgia. Decorating for Christmas is almost as fun as the actual day of Christmas. It truly is a special time of the year and making your home special will bring warmth to your family and friend’s hearts… and create wonderful memories.

I love decorating for Christmas so much, it looks like Christmas blew up in my house… but in a good way!

So… I’ve listed 17 ideas for decorating home your home for the holidays. I hope that you find at least one new idea for you… and maybe a few will inspire you with a whole list of original ideas!

1. Brighten your christmas tree

It’s easy to string lights on your Christmas tree… but take tree lights very seriously at my house. My husband wraps each individual branch and twig with lights. Yes, it’s a bit tedious… but the result is breathtaking. Hey, you’re going to be looking at that tree all month… take the extra time and really make your tree glow… literally.

2. Decorate your stair rail

This is a given, but it amazes me how few actually do it. Whenever you see beautifully decorated homes in magazines you see this grand staircase wrapped in garland and lights. It’s stunning. And you can have the same exact effect in your home. It’s easy! Wrap your banisters with garland. You can go cheap and use the standard green garland in a box… or you can go all out and get some more realistic garland. Whatever your budget can handle… do what’s best for you. Now, wrap the garland in white lights. It doesn’t matter what kind of garland you use… because once those lights are on… wow! But don’t stop there! Tie a pretty christmas ribbon bow at the bottom and top of the hand rails. And if you have enough ribbon, wind the ribbon loosely around the rail. Don’t wrap the ribbon exactly like you wrapped the garland… offset it a bit. Now, you’re really decorating!

And if you’re inspired… grab some shiny christmas ball ornaments and hang those on your garland all the way up the stairs. I bet you didn’t know your house could look so luxurious!

3. Add christmas bows

I add bows made of all kinds of christmas ribbon all over my house. On the stair rail, on my wreaths… on the ends of my draped garland. On door knobs. I attach them to my outdoor house lights. I add a big swag christmas bow just below my angel on my christmas tree. And for my second tree (yes, my second tree) I have a big 2-ribbon tree topper bow.

4. Hang wreaths in windows

It’s common to hang wreaths on your front door. But I love hanging wreaths on my windows. I’m not talking about just on the outside of your house. I also mean on the inside. I don’t hang wreaths in all my windows… my I select a room that needs a little extra Christmas spirit and hang one in each window. I also hang a wreath above the fire place. And another on my book shelves. And guess what… I add bows to all of them.

5. Greet visitors with some fun

All the formal decorating stuff is nice… but don’t forget to add some personality and fun to your rooms. Especially in your foyer. Find something that makes you smile and put it where people will see it as soon as they come into your house. I found this Christmas center piece that is made of holly leaves, berries and 3 stacked gingermen. It is adorable! It makes me smile and I put it on a table in my foyer. Now, I enjoy it when I come home… and others can enjoy it when the visit. It’s silly and I love it!

6. Create memories with small decorations

Growing up, I alwasy remembered my Mother’s little Christmas knick-knacks. Like snow globes and funny little snow men. I really didn’t follow in tradition when I first had kids. But my Mother gifted me little silly items every year. And as the years have gone on, my children ask about some of these items when we decorate the house. I have a little igloo with snowmen that has a little light that acts like a fire. My daughter remembered this from last year and was so excited when she saw it out. It’s the little things… literally… that can be the most special.

7. Decorate your fireplace mantel

My fireplace mantel varies from year to year. I’ve draped garland and lights and hungs stockings. I’ve displayed a variety of different sized candles dressed in pine cones and garland. I’ve displayed framed photos of the family. Whatever you decide… just have fun with it. Experiment. Try varying heights of a few different items. Try simple… try cluttered. Find your style.

8. Add garland

Like wreaths, add garland everywhere! I wrap garland on the banisters… I frame the door ways. I drape garland with fruit over my french doors. I lay garland along the top back of my couches. I even wrap my columns in garland.

10. Add a little character to your front yard

I used to do the “nice” decorating in my front yard. White lights on the shrubs. Garland and white lights around my door. And it IS nice. But now, I try to add a little fun. Not too much… I still don’t want my yard looking like I’m having a yard sale! This year I lined my front walk in light up candy canes. So cute! I still have my white lights on everything else… but its the candy canes that make me smile. And my kids love them!

11. Place wrapped gifts

Wrap boxes in shiny paper… tie a ribbon on them… and place them around your house. What fun! I place wrapped gift boxes on my book shelves, a few in a blank corner… some under the tree… anywhere that you need to add a little Christmas cheer. What an easy way to decorate!

12. Candles

Ah, the soft flicker of candle light can really add to the mood of a cozy home. I love the look of candles in windows. Obviously, don’t use real candles for this. I also like to light a few candles around my home. The smell of cinnamon and holly is delicious.

13. Fill glass vases with cranberries and sparkle

Pull out those glass vases that just sit in your cupboard. Fill them with fake cranberries, clear glass stones, salt, pine cones, and/or christmas balls. Layer and be creative. And then leave these filled vases out. This a professional decorator trick. It’s quick and it looks amazing!

14. Bowl of ornaments

Take a large bowl and fill it with some of your extra christmas balls. Or, collect some unique ones that you personally love… and place those in your bowl. Place this bowl in the center of your coffee table or dining table.

15. Photos of Christmas memories

Pull out some of those precious memories of Christmases past and put them in some decorative frames. Shiny silver frames… red painted frames. Whatever you like. And place these around your house. You’ll find that you’ll start remembering stories and sharing these moments with your friends and family.

16. Christmas hand towels and bathroom mats

Don’t forget the bathrooms! Add a cute hand towel and a christmasy floor mat. I have a chimney tissue box that I place on the back of the hall bathroom toilet. Just add a little somethin’.

17. Set your dining table

You may not be expecting dinner guests, but it’s always nice to have a decorated and set table. Pull out your favorite holiday dishes. I have these fun white dishes that have reindeer, christmas trees and santas painted on them. I love them! Dress up your table with colorful place mats…. place random christmas balls over the table… place a dramatic center piece… and light some votive candles.

As I write this article, I can already think of a few more christmas decorating ideas. But I have to end this list at some point. Decorating your home for the holidays can create a lot of wonderful memories that you’ll relive each year you pull out those bins. So, get to it! And happy holidays!

Oh… and don’t forget to hang jingle bells on the doors… and mistletoe above the doorways… ok, ok, I’ll stop!
