A bowl filled with tree ornaments has be done, but nothing brings
flavor of
holidays long ago as does a large glass bowl of bright red apples and tangy smelling oranges. Or how about a metal pail filled with mixed nuts in
shell next to
fireplace. Throw in a couple of nutcrackers and
kids will be at them all
time instead of
candy.
Speaking of candy, that holiday favorite candy canes are for more that eating or hanging on your tree. Think of using them in floral arrangements, or tie together using a packing string to make a garland. Tie a string of candy canes around big fat candle (make sure no paper is near
wick). Of course you can always attach a candy cane to package bows and invitations too.
Don’t forget our little furry friends during
holiday season. http://www.sew-help-me.com/free-pattern-christmas- ornament-fidos-sock.html has a Free sewing pattern for Fido’s very own Goodie Sock for
fireplace.
There are endless ways to make your home festive for
holidays. The key word is it is YOUR home. Decorate for you. Seasonal decorating can be a way to help you and your family get into
holiday spirit. When there is joy in
home, all visitors to that home experience and take a little of that joy with them when they leave.
