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

Surprise Your Family And Friends WithAmazing Xmas Decorations

By Giselle Taylor

August, September, October, November"December! Finally, months that dont begin with the letter D seems so slow when youre in it dont you agree? Yes, I know December is the only D month (you catch on quickly) and truly, it is perhaps the most anticipated one of the year. If you want to bring on the holidays, what are you waiting for? Head on to the christmas tree shop and let the festivities begin.

Christmas trees are perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols of the holidays. Make your fir stand out by infusing it with personality and intimate family moments. What do I mean? Xmas decorations are not about being proper and expensive. Cut out special milestones, attach notes and embellishments to it and hang them on the tree. String up pictures with personal trinkets with pretty ornaments and wind them around the tree.

A well decorated living room is good"but a spectacularly decked out home is better. Place attractive wreathes on doors to welcome guests and tinsel garlands onto walls. Take several miniature christmas trees and adorn it with little metallic kiss chocolates and candy canes. When your childrens friends come over to visit, guess who will be the most popular kid in school tomorrow?

Remember to hang your stockings by the fireplace. If you have no chimneys in your house, you can mount these present fillers by the wall or stairwell instead. Also tie pretty silk embellished ribbons and flowers along windows and walls. Brush off the dusty mistletoe, you finally have an excuse to use it"hang it where you see fit.

If you have time on your hands, take up a Xmas decorations arts and crafts project. Not only is it more meaningful, you will save money on accessories as well. Turn up those yuletide ditties so youll get into the spirit of it more. Have a color palette to unify all the home decorations you are making. You can make pink and gold christmas baskets trimmed with flowers; and pink suited Santa Claus with gold bells and accents on him.

You dont have to limit yourself to the inside of your house. Go out and decorate your front lawn as well. Im sure people will smile when they see the colorful and wacky creations you will put up. Of course a Nativity scene is always a timely reminder of the real meaning of this season so setting this up as a faithful tribute to Christmas is always a great idea. For other christmas characters, consider spraying them with a sheen of glitter for fun.

Christmas is no excuse to be lax in taking safety precautions though. Be aware especially of anything electrical that you decide to use. Do not put liquids near electrical Xmas decorations. Do not keep the christmas lights blinking all night long. Ensure that the step ladders you use are safe and as much as you are able, decorate with a friend nearby for any emergencies.

And of course, love. Christmas is Christmas because there is love. Put this vital ingredient in all that you do and you will find that it is truly a magical time of the year. Enjoy all that life has to offer, Happy holidays!
