Let’s Decorate for Christmas

It’s Time To Decorate the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Christmastime!

Let's Decorate The Christmas Season

Good Day Christmas Luminaries.

Christmas is right around the corner and I’ll be ready when it arrives. I’m ready for the decorating to begin. Are you with me?

Let’s decorate the Christmas season together.

Are you ready to decorate for Christmas? I know I am.

If you’re ready or getting ready, please stay and join me and let’s get started brightening our homes with all things Christmas.

First things first.

I have a gold basket that I fill with white lights. To that design and my family’s delight I’ll add red and gold bulbs. I love this creation because it lights up my entire living room when I turn off the lights at night. The lights in the basket are bright to lend just the right ambiance for the space.

Secondly I will decorate my coffee table. I will add a lovely Christmas runner and build on it. I’ll be adding a gold tray with the perfect pop of colors. Purple and red Christmas ornaments will complement this one of a kind Christmas design.

From there I’ll decorate my sofa table with my gold reindeer large and small. I’ll also add lights to this table with green garland.

I’ll also be showcasing my cute little gingerbread couple and all of my Christmas signs.

Beautiful Christmas Decorations Warm the Heart Morning, Noon and Bright

My living room is where I spend most of my time throughout the holiday season. I will be adding a multitude of lights on my window sill of my picture window and I cannot wait.

When the decorating begins I’ll be playing songs of the season and to name a few will be Jingle Bells, It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Holy Night.

Now starting in October, the 15th to be exact, the Christmas decorating will begin. I plan to take photos to post so that you can see how it all ties together.

Please visit often so that you can see my lovely Christmas decor.

Thank you for stopping by.

Merry Christmas.

How I Decorate My House for the Christmas Season

Warming Homes with Beautiful Christmas Decorations and Amazing Ideas

With a Jingle Bell here, a Merry Christmas there and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, I think we all can agree that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year!

It is no surprise that many stores have lined their shelves with bright and beautiful Christmas decorations. I love seeing the illuminating colors that so remind me of what this joyous holiday season represents. For me it represents love.

Walking into various stores and seeing their lovely Christmas displays warm my heart. My spirit comes more alive during this wonderful time of the year.

Every year at Christmas I find myself spending quiet time at HomeGoods, TJMaxx, HomeSense and now Burlington. I have a new Burlington in my neighborhood and I can’t wait to get there.

I already have my camera ready to record the wonders of the season and as my eyes scroll through all of the breathtaking decor I smile. I cannot wait to start decorating my home. This is an exciting time for me because I get to pull out my lovely Christmas decorations to decorate every inch of my home

Christmas Decor Starts in the Heart

Warming Homes with Beautiful Christmas Decorations

First, I start in my living room. I have a host of table runners so I start with those to compliment the decorations that I’ll be adding. Each piece is special to me which means they all have a special place in my home. I try my best to coordinate the table runners to ensure an easy on the eye kind of flow throughout.

After placing my table runners on each table (there are 3) I then begin adding Christmas bulbs. These Christmas ornaments of red, gold and purple are my favorite colors. They have been my Christmas theme for many years now. I love all of these colors because they deeply resonate with every inch of me and how I want my home to look and feel.

Next I will be adding my small collection of Santas. I have a red clothed Santa Claus and a blue-coat clothed Santa Claus. One Santa will go on my sofa table and the other on my coffee table. These will be greeted by my precious family of angels and elves. Most of my pieces have a lot of red in them which really makes my living room stand out and pop with color with subtle touches of Christmas surroundings them all.

Being able to use my imagination in a great way has helped me design a unique Christmas tray that consist of more Christmas ornaments and lights. When I designed my first tray almost 15 years ago it immediately became one of my very special Christmas designs that I have ever created. I need to do more like this and I think I will this year. I am not an arts and crafts person, but I’m going to try to incorporate some new ideas which I see in my mind.

Moving on, I have large red Christmas balls that I hang in my picture window every year. I must keep the flow of Christmas throughout my home and these also add the perfect touch. I remember one year the delivery guy delivered oil to my home and he said he had never seen such a beautiful window display before. I thought that was so nice of him to notice and to tell me that he loved my Christmas decor.

As I type this i just thought about making some Christmas crafts to see how they come out. I’ll keep you posted.

Christmas Just Ain’t Christmas Without Red and Gold Decor

Another one of my Christmas decorations that I adore is my gold reindeer. Unfortunately, he was broken and now I am on the hunt to find another one. If I can find another gold reindeer I’ll buy two or three to place them around my living room and in my picture window. I think reindeer are beautiful and they speak Christmas to my heart.

Because I decorate every inch of my home from my front door to my kitchen door, my two red wreaths will go up as well. One will go on the front door inside of my house and the other I will place on my sofa table. My Christmas lights will be another extra added attraction to my home’s decor.

There will also be about 4 candy dishes all around my home. I usually have Hershey Kisses, Spearmint and Peppermint candy and I’ll do the same this time around. My family loves sweets. My famous dark chocolate brownies and chocolate chip cookies will be snuggled up in a beautifully designed Christmas canister.

And then there are my Scented Christmas candles will give my rooms a soft subtle scent that adds just the right amount of loveliness in my home.

Now, what about you; how will you decorate your home for Christmas this year? Are you planning on using the same theme as last year or will you be doing something you’ve never done before? However you decide to decorate your home for Christmas this year I know you are going to make it great and look amazing.

Warming homes with beautiful Christmas decorations is an amazing way to welcome in Christmas and all the love that Christmas brings.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

The True Meaning of Christmas

By Cyndi – Posted on

The Meaning of the Christmas Season Fills My Home

The True Meaning of Christmas

The true meaning of Christmas resides in my home and fills my heart with love year round.

For me and my lovely family Christmas is warmth, love and comfort on the couch. Nestled deep into the most comfortable couch situated in the perfect place which is in my living room and handcrafted with brilliant design elements that make my couch a comfy place, I love to snuggle on the sofa with an abundance of soft pillows, quilts and blankets surrounding me.

There Will Always Be a Story About About Christmas and What It Means To Me

Christmastime means embracing the holiday season with a real sense of joy! This is the same joy that brings many miracles that teaches us the importance of loving one another. I love this awesome feeling that hugs me tightly morning, noon and night and never lets me go.

This wonderful feeling moves me with compassion. It also clothes me with inspiration and when this happens I quickly grab my pen and notebook and the writing session begins.

It is then that I pour out my heart to write short stories of Christmas love. This feeling is accompanied by beautiful Christmas poems.

This feeling then takes me into my kitchen where I find myself opening.a box of Ghirardelli Dark Brownie Chocolate Mix, my favorite brownie mix. The dark chocolate lends a touch of warm for my spirit and love for my stomach. Most of the time you won’t find a brownie left after they’ve cooled down. My family gobbles them up so fast that I find myself baking more brownies the next day during the Christmas Season.

During our baking sessions it is only appropriate for Christmas music to chime in followed by my singing, dancing and with tears in the midst.

One of my favorite Christmas is O Holy Night. Josh Groban is one of my favorite Christmas singers and along with his rendition of Celebration Me Home, my house is never dry. Tears fall and with good reason.

Does Christmas make you feel warm and fuzzy all over? Can you describe what Christmas means to you and the feeling that flows into your life, heart and home?

I hope you’re getting to be warmed and I hope you enjoy all the days leading up to the most wonderful time of the year.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

 

 

Christmas Is Coming

By Cyndi – Posted on

Season’s Greetings, Christmas Luminaries,

Welcome to Christmas in my home

Christmas in my home

Can you believe Christmas is right up the road. I am so excited I cannot wait to put up my Christmas tree and decorate my entire house from top to bottom for this joyous holiday season!

Here’s how I plan to decorate my home this year.

Every year at Christmas I create a theme for the most wonderful time of the year. This year my  theme will be gold reindeer and beautiful Christmas angels. My color palette will be the Christmas tradition that I grew up with and simply love which is red and green with a little bit of gold mixed in.

Starting at the front door I will add a lovely traditional Christmas wreath. Should you enter into my home physically or by your imagination, you will see two gold reindeer comfortably nesting in my warm candle lit living room. To this gorgeous display I will also be adding red hurricanes, by Valerie Parhill, that I purchased on QVC. They are simply gorgeous.

Christmas Is Coming and I’ll Be Ready

Christmas in my home

In addition to all of this Christmas wonder, stringed white lights will accompany the greenest garland joyfully laid across the window sill for beauty and splendor. This window brings a lot of light into my home. 

Last year I bought a cute little gingerbread couple that I found on QVC so I will be sure to put them out for a conversation piece. I got them on sale for a really great price.

A few years ago I purchased Luminara candles, a special collection from, again, QVC. They will go on my coffee table up against the wall in my great room. They will add a soft light affect throughout my home this Christmas.

It won’t be long before Christmas in my home will come to life. I am truly looking forward to Christmas 2024 and as I countdown the days until Christmas I will be dreaming of this special holiday season and enjoying the love that it brings.

Merry Christmas Everyone.
