Are You Ready For The Holiday?

'Tis the season to be STRESS FREE! Do you have everything you need to help make the holidays memorable for you and your family. From great cookie recipes to fun family craft projects, the ideas are endless.

Here's a few tips that you can do to help you decorate outdoor.

Simple Elegance
Decorating rule of thumb: You can't go wrong with simple, symmetrical touches. Add white lights to plants or pillars that frame your front door for a polished, elegant look. The rustic, classic wreath helps to break up the rectangular lines of the door.


When You Wish Upon a Star...
All you need for this whimsical display is a branch of evergreen and an inexpensive tin star from an art store or craft shop. Simply hang the evergreen branch at an angle behind the star and -- viola! -- a stellar little decoration. Perfect as a wreath alternative for your front door or to spruce up a blank wall.

We Three Wreaths
If one wreath is nice, three must be, um, thrice as nice. Stack small, simple wreaths in a column and don't worry about adding extra embellishments -- multiple wreaths means you don't have to add any extra decoration like ribbons or lights.

Use What You Have
You don't have to lug out a Santa cut-out or nativity scene to decorate your yard for the holidays -- just add embellishments to the items that already adorn your yard. Here, ribbons and hats turn garden ornaments into Christmas geese.

Illuminate with Lanterns
Skip strings of lights this year and instead beckon guests in from the cold by hanging a few lanterns from strong tree branches. A mix of different styles of lanterns adds a cozy, eclectic feel.

So there you go folks. 5 Simple tips that you can use to spruce up the outdoor of your house.
