10 Tips for Christmas Decorating

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JCU chapter.

Listed below are a few tips to make the Christmas decorating process simple and more successful.

  1. Make sure Thanksgiving is officially over… You don’t want to jump the gun!

  2. Don’t go overboard on the Christmas lights… They may be pretty, but too many can become a hassle!

  3. Have a good combination of Christmas colors – green and red have become repetitive… There are plenty of other colors in the Christmas color scheme!

  4. Remember: less is more!

  5. You can never have too many candy canes or Christmas candy around!

  6. Don’t forget about holiday scents – Christmas candles are a must!

  7. Okay, we all know that blow-up Santa Clauses and Snowmen are cute, but most people have a tendency to buy too many. Keep your yard sweet and simple!

  8. On the contrary, you can never have too many Christmas trees… They come in many shapes, colors and sizes! :)

  9. Bells add a nice touch to any Christmas decoration.

  10. Another thing you can’t have too much of: glitter!!!! :)
