Tree Decorating And More - Christmas Decorating Ideas And Tips For You

Christmas tree decorating and all the excitement of this wonderful holiday season is here. It seems like every year the holidays approach us so fast. Before we know it we are all running around buying and wrapping presents, preparing favorite holiday recipes, and low and behold, decorating for the special Christmas season. Our family is rich in tradition of fully decorating our homes. I wanted to share with you some of the things we do in our home to make the holiday season on of family tradition and also bring our home to life. Decorative lights, garland, and so much more make up our decorating. This is a time of year I love to put on a little creativity and bring the warmth of Christmas right into our home.

Each week until Christmas I will share with you some Christmas decorating ideas. I will also bring you into our home and let you see our step by step of completely decorating our house, as well as trimming our 12 to 14 foot Christmas tree. I love real trees and to me even though a little sap may drip on the floor, the smell and feeling of that old time Christmas is with us every year. Below is one simple decoration that I love putting together.

The two Christmas bears come to life this time of year. I have many Christmas stuffed animals and love displaying them throughout the house. This particular decoration is very easy to put together. I put a red placement underneath the bears and the red decorative holiday tin. This creates a great balance with the color of the bears clothes.

I added a little artificial Pointsettia to the tin, and top it off with greenery around the bears and tin. I put this decoration in different locations every year. It can go on a end table, the floor, an old sled or other accent. A small bench will work great displaying the bears and tin.















The first picture shows you a close up of the bears and tin. Notice the deep rich green color in their outfits. The green leaves of the tin match perfectly. There is also a small amount of gold glitter on the bears outfits. The second photo adds another blending dimension with garland around the greenery. The gold garland creates a balanced look in this small holiday decoration.

Of course this particular decoration could be done in any style room, but can also looks great in a country theme or in a mountain cabin with a natural tree setting outside. I look forward to sharing a little of our holiday decorating with you. Tom will be taking pictures for you to see our way of decorating and also how we use a traditional theme given to us by family.
