Beautiful Outdoor Xmas Decorations Everyone Can Enjoy

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.

Let's get down to it then. Are you ready to be challenged? Are you willing to go beyond your limits for the best yuletide home yet? Are you up for it? Then invite your little children to take part of this special project. Now don't go backpedalling on me now, you will be surprised at their creativity and eagerness to help make a beautiful home with you. It is well worth the little stubbornness and impracticality that makes children such adorable and exasperating creatures.

What motif do you want to build your outdoor Xmas decorations on? You can go for the timeless and beautiful Nativity scene and set it amidst a softly lit lawn and inspiring hymnals in the background. The angels, shepherds, and travelling magi can take positions on different parts of the grass as they make their way to the manger-a priceless moment in history captured in your home's front yard.

How about a Santa Claus theme? Maybe have him and his pack of faithful reindeers land on your roof with a sled full of colorfully wrapped gifts. Or you can make the front part of your house to look like the busy North Pole, complete with hardworking little elves. Integrate christmas tree themes into it by setting up an icicle tipped Christmas tree decked in blue, silver and white christmas balls.

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.

If you are adventurous, then by all means go whichever way the holiday wind takes you. Seriously, the more unexpected the better! Consider neon and glow in the dark pink, green and yellow miniature christmas trees strewn all around your lawn. If that's a little too much, have black and white christmas tree. Unless you're going for a jailbird motif, make it as sparkly as you can. Do quirky and hang house things on a tree. Put hooks on spoons, forks, door knobs, little ketchup bottles, etc. and get a few laughs from visiting friends and passersby.

There might not have been a lot of particularly happy moments the past months-but don't count the year out just yet. Live as how you want even in the last few weeks of the year. Make your outdoor Xmas decorations work for you-it's the faithful forerunner of Christmas magic. Enjoy!
