Christmas Decorating
Author: Adam Peters

Christmas decorating should be something that you look forward
to all year. By planning ahead and making a battle plan, you
will be on your way to making your home into that Christmas
masterpiece.

The first day of December is my favorite day of the year.
Decorating for Christmas is my favorite thing to do and I look
forward to it every single year. I make myself wait until
December 1st, but once that day comes, then I start my official
Christmas decoration siege. Christmas time was always a time of
great decorating when I was growing up and everything always
looked great and like it was right out of a magazine. My family
decorated the home inside and out and we all loved doing it.
That is probably why I love the Christmas season and Christmas
decorating so much.

I start by decorating the outside of the house. No haphazard
decorating for me. I carefully place my lights so that they
look organized and beautiful. I take great pride in my
decorating and my house looks it. I want my entire home to look
exactly like my mom's used to - welcoming and elegant. I have
chosen to only use white twinkling lights in my decorating and
I start by putting them on my bushes, trees, and the front
porch. Then I move inside to decorate the stair case banister.
We take the whole family with us when we choose our Christmas
tree and this has made it into a family tradition that we enjoy
and look forward to.

Last year we decided to cut our own tree, but it was not
something that I care to do again. It was a very cold, snowy
day and we argued and froze for hours trying to find that
perfect tree. We found a tree that was perfect for us, but the
time that it took and the misery that it entailed was not
something that I care to repeat. I think that this year we will
just go visit the local tree lot and bring it home with no
trouble. The most important part of Christmas decorating is the
tree. We put the tree up and then string the lights on it. After
all of the lights are on the tree, then we each pick out our
favorite ornaments to place on the tree. Christmas carols
softly playing in the background is essential. I just love the
holiday season!

Christmas decoration time is not only something I look forward
to, but it is also a time that my entire family looks forward
to. It also helps to bring us closer together during the most
wonderful time of the year.
