Holiday season is finally here! The first snowfall has already come in Southeast Michigan, as well. This means one of two things: I can become excited about Christmas without being judged by others, or Michigan is simply acting stupid and the weather is acting completely (referencing the two years in-a-row hailing during the summer). I, for one, am going to go with the former and run with it because I have Christmas and New Year's fever. It feels like we were just ringing in 2013 just a week ago (hahaha, here I am speaking as if it is the end of the year already. There is still a month and some left during 2013).
Since I already decided to go with the former, I am disallowing anyone to be snide about my Christmas spirit. This means I am putting up the Christmas tree. (Look at the header image. It's not finished yet, but it's the thought that counts.) I'm also turning up the holiday tunes, decorating the rest of my home, buying gifts, and baking cookies! Christmas rocks, guys. It rocks so hard.
I figured that I might as well share with you all two of my main tips for Christmas decorating, since you might as well get in the holiday spirit, too. :) Are you ready for Christmas already, or are you all "it was just Halloween...."?
Two Tips for Decorating for the Holidays:
1. Don't be afraid to go big and be festive! The more lights, garlands, and amazingly scented candles, the better. Of course, going big does not mean overdoing it. It simply means have fun with your decorating so that the holiday spirit can be fed through to everyone who sees it. Have you ever heard the saying, "Go big or go home?"
2. The minor details can mean a lot. This is throughout all spaces. The tiny things that you think won't make a difference, in the end, do. May it be an extra ornament on the tree, or something that could have been hung on the fire mantle - it can make the difference between your winter wonderland and 'Ohh.....that's nice.'
