| Some pine greenery introduces winter/holiday while still mixing with pumpkins - keeping the harvest/fall theme going... |
Friends asked recently if it was okay to put Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving as they prepped their house for family and friends coming for Thanksgiving...
The answers is "Yes, it is okay...to a certain extent"...
 |
| Pre-lit trees on their kitchen island - brings in festive light without being overly focused on Christmas (yet) |
After Thanksgiving - you can then add holiday ornaments to the trees, remove the apples to replace them with sparkling Christmas-themed fixtures on the mantle or bring out family photos or artwork that are brought out only at Christmas time...(This is a nice tradition to start at home. Each year - as you take them out - you are reminded of fun vacations or other holiday moments)...
Outside the house - you can add some accents that can add a glow to the exterior of your house at Thanksgiving - which can remain through the New Year...This hanging star lights up and also looks great during the day too...
 |
| Think about the areas outside your house that guests will see and focus on decorating those areas. |
A front door can get lights and garland around it - even a plain wreath is fine...or two matching, pre-lit topiaries can do the trick - clean, traditional and always a classic look....
As my friends were prepping their house - they also asked if all porch furniture should be put away at this time? I say - "keep it out if it helps add to your holiday decor for now"...
At this time of year, it's all about the warm, inviting glow of home...
Enjoy the moments...
