It’s that time of the year again, when the Christmas decor inside your home is replaced by holiday cheer. This time of the year brings with it a surge of festive spirit, laughter and gift giving. Christmas can be celebrated in many ways, but one of the most traditional ways of decorating is to hang Christmas lights on your windowsills. These wonderfully festive decorations allow you to enjoy the warm glow of mild, natural lighting in your home and it also gives you a chance to catch up on all the people you have not seen for several months. You have heard of the Christmas carolers but few have experienced the pleasure of enjoying Christmas songs performed by these talented musicians. If you want to add some extra Christmas cheer to your home this year, here are a few suggestions:
The Christmas carolers perform a beautiful arrangement of Christmas carols outside every Christmas dinner. To make your Christmas tree appear more boho, you can decorate it using red and green garland, with natural flowers and ferns, with white pine cones and beads. You can easily DIY some simple boho Christmas ornaments made of old fashioned beads, handmade wreaths and even add garlands made from felt and feathers. Use your imagination and add a touch of ethnic decor to your Christmas home by hanging some Indian or Polynesian themed garland on your wall. If you want to decorate your windows with more traditional garlands, then you can use pine cones and other wildflowers to hang them. You can find many garlands made using leftover Christmas paper that you can recycle at home or you can purchase a more sophisticated type of garland made from real poinsettias, holly and mistletoe.
You can use a variety of different items to decorate your Christmas tree such as berries, pine cones, nuts, colorful beads, natural flowers and even ornaments, particularly if you make homemade Christmas ornaments. These kind of ornaments are usually great for the kids. A great idea for the kids is to make macrame ornaments which they can take home with them to add to their tree when they’re done. You can either make the homemade macrame ornaments or buy them at a craft store. You can also use homemade ornaments for wrapping Christmas presents, especially if you’re giving them away as gifts.
