Decorating Your Front Door.

The purpose for decorating at Christmas time is to provide an atmosphere that will make all your friends and family feel warm, cheerful and most of all welcome in your home. With this in mind the first place to start is the outside of your front door. One idea is to drape a lush 9 foot strand of real or Artificial Garland around the top of the door and let the ends hang on either side. Either type of Garland can be lit with Mini Christmas Light Bulb Sets or C7, C9 Outdoor Christmas Lights or a combination. You can easily hang Shatterproof Ornament Balls by using some green floral wire. You might also want to add some small floral picks with holly berries or other types of red berries or even some snow frosted greenery picks. Adding a couple strands of Iridescent White Berry Spray will add the effect of glistening snow. Velvet Ribbon bows add a nice touch of color and are easy to make.

If you prefer the look of Wreaths they can be just as easily purchased online in either real Pine or Artificial Christmas Wreaths styles. If you have a double door you can purchase one for each door or one that will separate when one door opens. If you choose one that separates just make sure if you light it or use ribbon that you don’t run either all the way around the wreath. Add smaller Wreaths of identical style to each of your front windows. You only need to decorate these with a Velvet Ribbon Bow. Wreaths can be lit with Battery Operated Lights, Miniature Christmas Light Bulb Sets, C7 or C9 Outdoor Christmas Lights or a combination. Wreaths can be decorated much the same way as Garlands. Just remember that a little green floral wire will make your job much easier and more enjoyable. If you have a theme for your Decorations inside your home why not introduce it on your front door by adding Western Christmas Ornaments to your Garland or and small Wooden Nutcracker Soldier to the inside of your Artificial Christmas Wreath.

Decorating Your Front Yard.

Another fun way to add some Christmas Sparkle to the front of your home is to decorate the pathway or sidewalk leading to your front door. Use C9 lights which come in a variety of colors, attached to hard plastic Universal Lawn Light Stakes. This forms a fence like effect. As well as a range of colors to choose from, you can also choose whether the lights will twinkle or not. There are several styles of Luminaries you can choose from which cover the C9 lights and have a give a reflection of snowmen, angels or Christmas trees to name a few. There are even Snowmen or Large Nutcrackers or Large Toy Soldiers that you can use to line your pathway or stand beside your door to greet your guests. Don’t forget the Illuminated Nativity Scene that reminds us all of the reason for our Christmas Celebration.
