1. Easy Simple Ideas for Christmas Decoration

Now, Everyone from small children to old people start getting busy planning for Christmas. The Christmas cake, Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, Christmas Gift are some of the things that we should prepared every time we celebrate Christmas.

For Busy Moms, Here are some easy and simple ideas to make your home filled with christmas spirit, even if you don't have much time.

For Indoor Decoration :

• Beautiful and creative banners, with special Christmas greetings like "Merry Christmas" can be used as perfect Christmas decorations.
• For Tree Decoration, You can buy a bag of candies and wrap it using a clear wrap and tie with a ribbon. Hang it in the christmas tree. Besides candy, you can put a gingerbread cookies in it. Add candy cane to complete it.
• For Table Center Decoration, you can put a wreath and wrap it with ribbon and make a bow . Inside the wreath, you can place a large candle. Another option is to put a large crystal bowl with gilded fruit and pinecones in it.
• Make a dried flower tree to place it around the corner. This will make an extra decoration for your christmas

For Outdoor Decoration :

• Make a Christmas Wreath to greet your guest is a must. If you can't make it, you still can buy it.
• You can also add a fake snow on the windows.
• Climb up your roof and add christmas lights flashes.
• Buy some of the attractive outdoor decorations, such as a scene of Christmas where St. Nicholas waves to people on a cart drawn by reindeer on the snow or just a simple snowman.

Christmas Tree : Real or Fake, which one to choose?

Obviously, a real tree is absolutely beautiful, however it could make a mess of needles on floor.

A good idea for a real tree may be to get one with still roots. The best thing of this option is that, you can keep it alive, and after Christmas be re-planted for the next years to come, this will not make a mess.

A real christmas tree has a heavenly pine scent that can't be replaced by the fake one.

For many families, cutting down a Christmas tree is an annual tradition.

While, The fake one is a good choice for most homeowners, because it will look lovely from year to year. And it will save your money too. You don't have to buy a new one every year. Although its needs a lot of work preparing it, but I think still worth to buy.

If I had to choose between fake and the real tree, my answer would be the fake one. Why? because it will save my time and my money too. Fake one doesn't need to be watered and doesn't mess my floor. Besides, Do you really need a real tree to decorate your living room? Is it right to cut down a living tree just because it looks and smells better?

Christmas Decoration : How to make a Dried Flower Tree.

What you need :

• A plastic pot about 30 cm ( 12 inch ) in diameter
• A length of thin branch about 35 cm ( 14 inch ) high and 10 cm ( 4 inch ) in diameter.

• Polyfilla
• Stub Wires
• An attractive container

• Fresh Moss

Instructions:

• The finished tree is 68 cm ( 27 inch ) high. Use foil to line the pot and secure the length of bracnh inside with small stones. Mix the polyfilla into a paste and spoon it into the pot until it is level with the surface
• Push the ball of florist's foam on to the branch . Make it half way through the foam.
• Cut stub wires into third, bend the pieces over and use to pin the moss on to the foam
• Push the wired pine cones into the ball
• Complete it with imitation fruits to enhance the festive appearance of the trees.

For me, Christmas is about spreading joy, peace and love for all the family members and friends. One way to express our appreciation to the ones we loved is by sharing a little of our Christmas Spirit with them through the tradition of gift giving.
