Fantastic Outdoor Xmas Decorations Tips

By Giselle Taylor


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 Santa Claus and his pet reindeers stealthily landing on your roof? If the roof is too high, bring Santa down in your lawn and create an abbreviated version of North Pole complete with cute toy making elves. Include blue, white and silver ornamented trees with tin icicles on the tips of the branches-christmas tree themes are always interesting to set up outdoors.

Depending on the neighborhood, you can also design a few outdoor trees with edible accessories hanging from them. String popcorn or cranberry and wind these strands prettily across the tree. Hang candy canes and ribboned little treats on the boughs of the tree. Just remember that you need to space the christmas lights well when you decorate. Keep the sizzle in the kitchen not on your tree. When you go for the food inspired creations, let your imaginations loose and don't hold back.

Actually, you don't even have to stick with the traditional holiday themes. Think out of the box and create something totally unexpected and unique. Go space age with a silver spray painted tree with metallic and robotic accessories. Are you known for your gastronomic skills? Cover outdoor trees with vegetables and fruits of a variety of colors. How about your love for cartoons and animation? Cut out large cardboard pictures of your favorite character and dress them in a Christmassy fashion all over the lawn.

The stressful year is coming to a close; so close the door with a bang! Let this Christmas infuse you with childlike delight in simple joys like beautiful outdoor Xmas decorations. It might be just what you need to start the next year with renewed vigor and excitement. Have a fun and playful Christmas!
