Christmas, you can't get more magical than that now can you? It's the time for gold, glitter and all things fabulous-you know you don't want to waste this little window of freedom to go over the top. So what are you going to do about this? Probably the holiday decoration in your home has been finalized since July, but have you thought about decking out your front yard to reflect your yuletide amore? If not, you are in luck my friend; awesome outdoor Xmas decorations and ideas are a few sentences away.
All right then, let's get it on shall we? Challenge yourself and let your children in on this project. Yes that's right; you're crazy, boundary deficient, energetic and sometimes annoying little angels. They love Christmas and it will be a good time as any to bond with them. You might be surprised how stretched your heart (and wallet) will be after this experience.
Agree on a general theme to base all your outdoor Xmas decorations on. Remind people on the true meaning of the season by setting up a beautiful Nativity scene in your softly lit front yard. Figurines or cut outs of angels, shepherds with their sheep, and wise kings can be appropriately positioned all across the yard to making its way to pay homage to the infant Savior-it will be your homage to Him as well.
How about a Santa Claus theme? Maybe have him and his pack of faithful reindeers land on your roof with a sled full of colorfully wrapped gifts. Or you can make the front part of your house to look like the busy North Pole, complete with hardworking little elves. Integrate christmas tree themes into it by setting up an icicle tipped Christmas tree decked in blue, silver and white christmas balls.
If you have a neighborhood with relatively well-behaved kids (people have mocked me for this oxymoron but I continue to believe), design one or more outdoor trees with edible accessories hanging about it. Garlands of popcorn and cranberry, candy canes, colorfully wrapped treats-drape them attractively around the tree. Only keep in mind to space your lighting well-burnt food on charred needle pines do not make a festive look.
If you are adventurous, then by all means go whichever way the holiday wind takes you. Seriously, the more unexpected the better! Consider neon and glow in the dark pink, green and yellow miniature christmas trees strewn all around your lawn. If that's a little too much, have black and white christmas tree. Unless you're going for a jailbird motif, make it as sparkly as you can. Do quirky and hang house things on a tree. Put hooks on spoons, forks, door knobs, little ketchup bottles, etc. and get a few laughs from visiting friends and passersby.
It might have been a particularly hard year, I don't know. What I do know is you can still nurture the simple joys of life starting this Christmas. Start with your outdoor Xmas decorations; not only will you catch the Spirit of Christmas-you will be a conduit for it to the people who are fortunate enough to look upon your special works of art. Have a wonderful and meaningful holiday this year!
