August, September, October, November, December! Finally, months that don't begin with the letter D seems so slow when you're in it, don't you agree? Yes, I know December is the only D month (you catch on quickly) and truly, it is perhaps the most anticipated one of the year. If you want to bring on the holidays, what are you waiting for? Head on to the christmas tree shop and let the festivities begin.

We all know christmas trees are a common sight during the holidays. What will make your little tree stand out? Well, for one thing you can put your heart on its pine sleeves. String up family photos, trinkets and tokens of moments that mark special days in your lives. Wind it around each tier and watch laughing recollections of shared journeys commence. Lay on a lot of sparkle and glitter in the Xmas decorations that you use.

Do not limit your decorations to the living room - feel free to adorn the other rooms in your house with holiday cheer. Hang wreaths and garlands on stairwells and doorways. Mount miniature trees decked with treats and candy canes and place it in the other rooms. You will be the most popular aunt for the months to come.

Remember to hang your stockings by the fireplace. If you have no chimneys in your house, you can mount these present fillers by the wall or stairwell instead. Also tie pretty silk embellished ribbons and flowers along windows and walls. Brush off the dusty mistletoe, you finally have an excuse to use it"hang it where you see fit.

If you have time on your hands, take up a Xmas decorations arts and crafts project. Not only is it more meaningful, you will save money on accessories as well. Turn up those yuletide ditties so youll get into the spirit of it more. Have a color palette to unify all the home decorations you are making. You can make pink and gold christmas baskets trimmed with flowers; and pink suited Santa Claus with gold bells and accents on him.

Don't think you have to restrain yourself to the inside of your house - spill forth your creative juices outside as well. Especially if you have a wide and spacious front lawn, you have so many things you can do. Don't worry; it need not even be expensive or too solemn. Have fun with it! Make wooden cutouts and spray paint them with glitter. Buy those large Styrofoam balls and put them together to make a party of crazy snowmen living it up in your front yard.

Christmas is no excuse to be lax in taking safety precautions though. Be aware especially of anything electrical that you decide to use. Do not put liquids near electrical Xmas decorations. Do not keep the christmas lights blinking all night long. Ensure that the step ladders you use are safe and as much as you are able, decorate with a friend nearby for any emergencies.

And the last and most important ingredient of all - love. Put love in all your efforts and you will find Christmas living inside you all throughout the year. Have a beautiful home and lovely holidays ahead!
