  • Christmas Decorating Nativity scenes Christmas Decorating Nativity scenes

Display a collection of small nativity scenes - most of these are actually tree ornaments - rather than one large set. Buying tip: if using a tree ornament, make sure that it has a flat bottom and will actually stand upright on its own.
Idea: The kitchen is another room that you could easily decorate for the Christmas holiday season. There are many simple low-cost ways to do this. Try Christmas themed potholders, kitchen towels, and napkins. Or even think about adding some Christmas themed kitchenware, or a special set of dinnerware or serving pieces.
Idea: Don't limit your Christmas decorations just to the room where your tree is located. Decorating other rooms, such as the bathroom, can be unexpected and fun. Replace your towels with Christmas towels. Get a few colorful holiday guest soaps. Hang a Christmas picture. Or you could even replace your shower curtain with one with a Christmas theme.
