Some quickies to get you into the holiday mood
- Use lots of figurines, wreaths, ornaments, and tabletop trees.
- Tie ribbons generously to chair backs, candlesticks, wreaths, basket handles, drapery tie-backs, stair railings, and doorknobs.
- Choose ribbons in colors and patterns that coordinate with your decorating scheme.
- If you can’t find anything that looks quite right, choose metallic silver, gold, green, or red.
- Put a wreath on every door that you have. Use real pine, holly, or grapevine, decorated with bows, berries, fruit, pinecones, raffia, ornaments, birds, photos, or candy.
- Whenever you’re home, turn on a CD or the radio and listen to Christmas music.
- Tie some sleigh bells onto the front door, and listen to the cheery welcome.
- Collect classic movies with Christmas themes, such as “A Christmas Story”, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “Scrooge”, or “The Santa Clause”.
- Bake little loaves of tea bread and warp them in colorful wraps. Set them in a pretty basket for decoration. Fill a pretty basket with traditional candy canes and set it on the coffee table or entry table.
- Sprinkle artificial snow across your tabletop or on house plants.
- Embellish indoor plants or trees with shiny ornaments. Make a ritual of lighting the Christmas tree each evening.
