Today Dishing: Christmas Decorations

If your Christmas tree is lit and decorated and you feel you need just a  bit more in the way of Christmas spirit, here are some easy ways to spread cheer.


 It doesn't get any easier than this. Put some ornaments in a jar or on a platter and you have an inexpensive, quick decoration.

                                                                          
                                                   

Home Depot sells these small poinsettias for less than $3 each. These line the entrance way, but     can be arranged anywhere to achieve a seasonal, subtle feeling.


 

 Miniature Christmas trees can be put anywhere. I like to draw the eye up and create interest where none existed.

                                                                               

 Again, this is embarrassingly simple. Fill an apothecary jar with bagged snow, add some branches ( bought or real), then hang ornaments on the branches. A vignette that adds sparkle to the table top.

 
 Muffy bear and members of her family have clothes to adapt to every holiday and season.

                                                                   
A fuschia glitter tree adds glam to a powder room.


The Fitz and Floyd  Old Man Christmas vase and deer candle holders make a statement as a centerpiece.

                                            
Decorate a wreath and attach it to your chair backs with decorative ribbon.

 
Green garland and holly berry picks adorn a chandelier. Decorative ribbon completes the look.





More garland, more holly picks,  a strand of lights and whatever else you have on hand create an interesting mantel. Here  holly trees and  gold mesh trees complete this look.

 Fill some jars or vases with an assortment of Christmas candies and you have a candy station which is sure to catch the eye of any young visitors.

  

This silver and white decorated tree welcomes guests in the front foyer This is not an a example of a quick or easy decoration.

                                                                           

                                                               

This jungle themed tree sits in the corner of a jungle inspired family room. Animal print bows, zebra ornaments and feathered boas bring the jungle to life.

These are just a few ideas to use as inspiration. Your Christmas decorations should reflect you. Make your look, your own and have fun.
