Fast and Easy Christmas Decorating
by The Christmas holiday season will soon be upon us! Here are some quick and easy holiday decorations for busy people.
Christmas is almost around the corner and during this busy season, festive touches that don’t take a whole lot of time, but still look nice are a bonus to busy people! Here are a few ideas that will add that Christmas touch to your home, but not take a lot of time to prepare or accomplish:
-how about a glass bowl filled with glass balls (of one colour or multi) – you could intersperse them with small candy canes or tinsel.
-candles are an inexpensive way to bring both colour and scent to your home and are readily available just about anywhere.
-twist garlands around stair case railings
-tie ribbon with bells or balls around door handles
-add a festive air to your bathroom. Buy red and green glycerine soaps, buy hand soap in a Christmas container, and add candles that are red or green or fancy Christmas towels to your bathroom.
-put a Christmas screen saver on your computer screen.
-start a Christmas collection, start by buying Christmas (one or several) ornament every year. (a great idea for children, this way, by the time they move out, they have a fair amount of Christmas ornaments.)
-string anything that has a hole in it (even the little ones can help with this). It would be fun to spray paint pretzels gold and string them.
-have your kids cut out paper snow flakes
- greenery wreaths that can be purchased just about anywhere and adorned with ribbon (with the ability to buy wire edged ribbon, just about anyone can make a bow and have it look good)
-if you have antiques such as sleighs, skates etc; now is the PERFECT time to bring them out and put them on display.
The Christmas season is such a short one, make it last by decorating early and have fun while you are doing it! Play Christmas carols, drink hot chocolate with candy canes in it or have a decorating party. Christmas is a wonderful time of year and it is important to take the time to enjoy it. Decorating your house shouldn’t be a headache or one more thing to do on your list. Have a happy holiday season!
