Since there is little less than a month until Christmas arrives in many homes in the world. There are many people who wait throughout the year to be able to enjoy not only the holidays (even if they do not have vacations at work) but everything it means in their lives. Although I am one of those who thinks that good deeds and good wishes should last all year, I also think that these dates are something magical since we are little.
It is true that there are people who do not like Christmas because they think it is only consumerism, but it could be much more than that. It can be a time of the year when people struggle to be together on certain days and where you can enjoy the company of the people we love the most, something that can be more complicated during the year. But to be able enjoy the Christmas spirit in all its splendor, it is necessary that you have some ideas to decorate your home and that the spirit of Christmas is not lacking.
Think about the places where you will decorate
There are people who like to decorate their entire home completely and in other cases, who prefer to dedicate only one room or part of the home because they do not feel that they overload the environment. Do not let yourself be guided by what others do and be guided by what you want to achieve with the Christmas decorations in your house. If you want to have a house decorated everywhere you can do it and if you want to decorate in only one or some rooms, too, you choose!
Buy quality items
At Christmas time it is easy to find cheap decorations in many stores to decorate your home and it depends on how you want to decorate that you decide to spend more or less money. There are people who prefer to buy good quality ornaments that will last at least several years, and other people who prefer more basic decorations and in addition to spending money, prefer that they do not overload the environment. What do you prefer?
The entrance as a welcome to Christmas
Depending on how your entrance is, you can think of several decorative options. For example, if you have a garden with a nice tree, you can incorporate Christmas lights, you can also put a Christmas wreath at the entrance of your house and also put lights on the railing of the stairs to access your home. Maybe you'd rather just put a wreath on the door or other decorative element that you like. Think about the exterior entrance of your home and look for the most interesting decorative solutions.
Decorate the stairs of your home
If you have stairs in your home they will also be a good area to decorate, don't forget them! You can put strips of tinsel on the railing, small decorative and Christmas elements hanging on the wall, colored lights ... You can put whatever you want, but I advise you not to overload too much either, because after all it is a passage area and all the beauty will not be appreciated much. It is better that you invest your energy in other areas of the house where you will spend more time alone in company.
Christmas tree
What would Christmas decoration be without a Christmas tree? There are Christmas trees of many sizes, colors, materials ... I always bet on trees made of synthetic material. built with respectful materials with the environment, but I do not usually advise that the firs be cut to decorate a room. Trees are important in forests and gardens, not inside a house. But to be able to enjoy the spirit of the holidays you can opt for the artificial ones and it will also last you for many years.
In the decoration of the Christmas trees you will not be able to miss ornaments, balls, colors, tinsel, and snow! But you don't need to decorate with the traditional green tree, you can choose many different: White, black, purple or other Christmas trees, Christmas trees with built-in lights, Christmas trees designed for modern places, large, medium or small Christmas trees ... choose what best suits you, with your personality and with the decoration of your home !
Advent Calendar
If there is something that attracts more attention to children, and not so young! And it makes the wait for the holidays less long is the Advent calendar. There are many ways to decorate and enjoy the advent calendars but what matters is that they have a surprise for each member of the family during each day of December. This type of calendars can be make by hand with DIY projects cLike the one you can see below thanks to the YouTube channel of scissors glue. It's easy and you will love it.
But you can also buy advent calendars made or with the treats or toys already incorporated. It will depend on what you need to choose one or the other.
Glass jars with Christmas sweets
If there is something that everyone likes, it is Christmas sweets and many people find decoration a way to store sweets for guests or for special moments of the day. For example, you can have beautiful empty glass jars and incorporate Christmas sweets such as for example candy canes, marzipan, ice cream, candies, chocolates ... whatever you want! You can put them to decorate on shelves, on the dining table, on a side table, in a glass cabinet, choose the place where it is most striking. But don't eat any more sweets than you have to or you will regret at the end of the holidays for gaining weight!
