Holly Decorating for the holidays can be really hard for some people. You go into a store and you see all the fun new stuff they have and you buy all of it in matching colors, go home put it up and think I did a really good job. Then next year you do it all over again because you no longer like the colors you picked out the year before.
I have some advice for you if you are the type of person to do this. Don’t. Next time you go into the store look for something classic, look for greens, reds, golds, and silvers. Get evergreens and stay away from whatever is hot this year. Once you do this you have the base for your holiday decor.
The next thing you need to stay away from are the huge lawn ornaments, one or two are okay or even a cute set of reindeer and a Santa, but if you have 10 Santa’s, 3 Rudolf’s and 15 frosty the snowmen in your yard you need to rethink your holiday design plan. Unless your trying to win a contest for most Santa on a lawn you just don’t need all of that stuff.
Now that you are off the hot item and many Santa’s addiction you can open yourself up to them again. What you do once you have your base decor is add the hot trendy stuff to it in small doses. Have one or two huge lawn ornaments and your done.
Remember one you don’t want to look tacky and you also don’t want that $1000 electric bill you will be getting in January if you keep all that stuff up.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
