Your living room won’t look good until you follow these 4 Christmas tips. To get the look of your house or apartment correct for the holiday season, you need some select items to really spruce the place up. You can have extra Christmas items laying around, but these 4 are what completes the portrait. If you really want to establish that it’s winter inside your humble abode, grab some hot chocolate and wrap yourself in a blanket, and start reading this list.
1. Christmas Movies
One of the best and most entertaining parts of the holidays is the large amount of fun to watch holiday specials. They range from classic kiddie fare like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman, to more adult Christmas entertainment like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, which absolutely count as Christmas movies. As long as you have something recognizable i.e. The Nightmare Before Christmas playing on your screen, you’re setting the tone right off the bat.
2. Stockings
These seasonal Christmas socks really help set the mood. In the olden days, they were hung up by the fireplace. Given that we live in the 21st century, fireplaces aren’t as common as they once were. Still, one can fabricate a fake fireplace easily, using instructions found online. Feel free to hang your stockings where ever you see fit. The delight of finding a small joy inside one of them will never get old. Use it for those small, surprising gifts.
3. Lights
Christmas lights are very useful items. Some people say that they make a wonderful landing strip for Santa Claus and his reindeer. Others use them to spell out messages of peace and good tidings upon their lawn. They can be strung up outside or inside. If you plan on putting them up inside, make sure to arrange them so you get decent coverage of the whole room. Either solid color lights or multicolored make for nice looks. Go crazy and have bright fun.
4. Evergreens
Evergreens are the true trees of Christmas. For one, most people erect a Christmas tree or holiday tree ins their living room every winter. The smell and the decorations bring true joy to everyone involved. After that, the wreaths that people hang on their doors are very nice to see. They are a beacon of a good season. Don’t forget mistletoe, the date maker. It’s said that two people caught under the mistletoe have to kiss. Regarding that, be careful where you hang it up this year!
