1. Christmas

Tree- The ultimate Christmas decoration is a decorated tree. There are a few options to choose from

including Noble and Douglas Fir but the options don’t stop there. People can

choose to get their tree flocked in white, pink, or blue and sprinkled with

glitter. Whichever option you choose

will make your home look and smell like Christmas. If cleaning up pine needles, constant watering

or purchasing a new tree each year is not your idea of fun, there are many

artificial Christmas trees available.

2. Feather

Ornaments- This is a great craft for pre-school or school aged

children. Buy feathers and clear glass ornaments to make

simple tree adornments. Place guinea feathers or

peacock feathers in the ornaments, replace the hook/cap and these ornaments are

complete.

3. Feather

Boa- To take the place of garland for tree, mantle or stair railing use

feather boas made from marabou stork feathers. These are a great

update to typical artificial pine needles options. These may be decorated with ornaments and

light stands for custom decoration.

4. Light

Strands-Whether you go all out and deck your house from roof to lawn in

lights or you like to keep things simple, light strands are essential to

brighten a home for the holidays.

5. Candy

Canes- The whimsical combination of red and white swirled together is

simply irresistible. Use artificial

versions on the tree to reuse year after year, but place real candy canes in a

vase to create a beautiful table top decoration and to offer to holiday guests.

6. Stockings-

Stockings hung from a mantle with care are a Christmas must have. If you don’t have a mantle or even a

fireplace, hang stockings on a stair rail, or chair backs.

7. Wreath-

Artificial wreaths are available in countless options. They can be completely made from ornaments,

faux pine sprigs, or covered in fake lollipops and candy canes. Real versions are also available from

Christmas tree lots, they will welcome guests to your door with the enticing

pine smell, but they will need to be replaced each year.

8. Cinnamon

Candle- Let the aroma of Christmas greet your guests as they enter your

home. Light a cinnamon or gingerbread

scented candle approximately thirty minutes before guests arrive to fill your

home with the heart-warming scents.

9. Festive

throw- temperatures are almost always cooler in the winter months than the

summer. Update your couches or favorite

family room chair with a festive snuggly throw blanket. Chenille, crushed velvet, and cotton blankets

make great opportunities to cuddle with loved ones over hot cocoa. Traditional colors and classic Christmas

prints are the best choices.

10. Snow

Globe- Every kid…and adult can not resist tipping over a snow globe to turn

the song key and give it a few shakes.

Watching the 'snow' fall over a sleepy town, snowman or Santa Claus is

nostalgic and magical year after year.
