Hello everyone! Have you already decorated your home for Christmas?
With 12 days left, and holiday decorations on sale and selling out fast, if your home is still unadorned I hope that these tips will help. I love decorating, especially for Christmas. It was a big family tradition when I was still leaving with my parents, and I proudly continued it even after I moved into my own space. All these spaces were apartments though. When we moved into our first townhouse three years ago I discovered the challenges of decorating a big space.
To keep it manageable, I decided to keep it simple: we (obviously) decorate one big tree in the living room, and I then add festive touches in multiples places. Since what is festive to me are lights and shiny ornaments, I scatter them around the house. I do not do a theme, but I stick to a color scheme that fits within our existing home decor, so that I do not have to put away all our regular stuff to make space for Christmas decor. This year's novelty is that my son wanted to decorate a smaller tree in his room -- which brought back to my mind last year's discussion about how how many trees you decorate.
How about you? Do you choose a theme? Decorate multiple trees? Go the whole 9 yards with Christmas decor, or keep it simple like me? I'd love to hear.
