“Its The Most Wonderful Time of The Year”

After the buying and decorating of our trees is complete i like to buy a nice, colourful Holly wreath for my front door, there’s a local green grocer near to where i live who sells very nice examples, so once my purchase arrives home i waste no time in hanging it on the door, its great to add some colour and brighten up any dreary old day! Festive wreathes are a great buy as even though they are created from cut flowers and foliage, in the outdoor elements they stay fresh and healthy so don’t really require any care, one thing less to be worrying about i hear you say!
 
After the main festive decorations are taken care of i like to add a few seasonal house plants to the theme, there’s your normal choice of poinsettia’s and flowering azaleas, then there is the cheerful cyclamen available in a nice range of shades, then you have the colourful Christmas solanum’s and delicate orchids all adding interest and vibrancy, some types add a zest of fragrance to the home too, care is easy enough just keep moist and away from any serious draughts and these little darlings should do fine and keep on performing long after the turkey has been banished to the dust bin!
 

So even though outdoors can look rather on the glum side this time of year, there’s no excuses not too add a touch glamour and bling to the inside of your humble abode making the whole Christmas experience as exciting as saint Nicholas delivering you all of those well earned presents………and on that note, have a very merry “colourful” Christmas.
