Holiday Decorations

     Now that we are into the final month of the year, and it probably the most exciting month of the year, it is time to show off your decorating skills. This is the month where you show off all of your decorating skills and bring out everything you have. It doesn't have to be like Christmas related decorations, for example, I just heard about this new decor/ room scent tip. It is where you take a couple of oranges and cut them up into slices and then let the juice soak out, then you put them in the oven on low heat for a couple of hours and bam, you have dried orange slices that you can hang or just put around your house. They can last up you years!

     If you are one of those people who like to show off your outdoor decorating skills, then you definitely bring out your lights and blowups. I have seen yards varying from blow up santa's, reindeer, snowman, and candy canes. The most popular ways to use lights to decorate the outside of your house and yard is to string your lights on your roof, you can string them around your trees and sometimes I see people who have RV's and they string them around the front of the RV. When I went down to Florida in November, we passed this house that had put huge cutout snowflakes on top of their roof, and their yard was littered with plastic candy canes, santa's, reindeers, all of that stuff.

     When it comes to decorating the interior of your house, the most common thing that I see are Christmas trees, I know some people who don't celebrate Christmas but for the people that do, Christmas trees are very popular. When decorating your Christmas tree, there are many ways to do it. My family we have a box that has grown over many years of making decor for the tree so our tree is more of a homemade one. I have seen people who go out and buy bulbuls and try to make their tree look more on the more pretty professional side. Or you can take just some tinsel and throw that up with some lights and it still looks amazing.

     When it comes to decorating your house for the holidays, it is all about comfort. You want your house to feel homey and cozy when you decorate, that is one of the reason's why I love Christmas so much because when you are surrounded by the Christmas tree and lights with maybe a fireplace, it is the coziest thing ever. The holidays for me is all about family, sleep, food, and decorations. You can see which people really take decorating serious from the outside of their house, but there are people who just decorate the inside and not the outside. I feel like if you are not really in the holiday or Christmas mood, the easiest way to get in mood is to just decorate the heck out of your house or room.
