So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Decorating Tips For The Living Room

By Bill Younger

The living room should be an inviting space. After all, this is where we welcome our guests and spend time with them. Even as a family, hanging out in a living room that is comfortable and cozy is so much better than a room that lacks warmthI mean it metaphorically as well. Here are some basic decorating tips for improving your living room:

Cleanliness is next to godliness. How true is that! A clean living room no matter how small or simple is more appealing than a big and embellished but messy living room. A clean house speaks volumes about the homeowners and a cluttered receiving area magnifies that volume even more. Now you wouldn't want to be called a slob, would you?

A vibrant-looking living room beats a plain, dull looking one by a knockout. The more cheerful your living room looks, the more enjoyable it becomes to stay in this place. Use colors that reflect your personality and colors that go well with the furnishings. A put together living room is an impressive space that your guests see firsthand. They might not see the rest of the house but when they see what a well-decorated living room you have, the impression weighs on the good scale.

An area rug is the perfect finishing touch to a living room, either as a centerpiece or as an accent to furniture pieces. An area rug creates a stylish effect to the division of space and highlights items that it is paired with. Choose an area rug that meets your living room's theme.

It doesn't matter where you buy your living room furnishings. Online, department store, high-end stores or thrift shops, it's not the price or the quantity that really matters. What does is the quality of your taste. Follow your heart and express yourself and you won't have to worry about poor quality at all.
