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.
You don't even have to keep to the traditional images of Christmas. Push the envelope and see where your creativity will take you. How about a 50's inspired holiday theme? Have cutouts of iconic men and women of this era and have them strewn around your lawn in holiday fashions. Do you have kids who are so into Disney? Then have a mini Disneyland in your front yard with characters all in Santa hats. Simulate snow by sprinkling Styrofoam balls all over the place.
There might not have been a lot of particularly happy moments the past months-but don't count the year out just yet. Live as how you want even in the last few weeks of the year. Make your outdoor Xmas decorations work for you-it's the faithful forerunner of Christmas magic. Enjoy!
