Christmas Decor Dilemma: To Deck the Halls or Not?
Well, I have been very back and forth about Christmas decor this year. Part of me has seen it all blogging for 6 years…and also having a new home I want it to feel special this year. My husband and I feel that way about the season in total. We felt we kind of skipped it last year, being knee deep in moving boxes, and so we are both eager to immerse ourselves in all things festive this year.
Pros and Cons of Christmas Decor
The pros of decking the halls are clear. It brings a festive atmosphere to the home, creates beautiful memories, and brings joy to everyone who visits. However, there are also cons to consider. The process of putting up and taking down decorations can be time-consuming and tiring, not to mention the cost of new decorations.
Christmas Decor Ideas for 2021
If you, like me, are feeling a little overwhelmed by the Christmas decor choices this year, here are some tips to make it a little easier. One idea is to go with a theme for your decor. Whether it’s a traditional red and green theme, a winter wonderland theme, or something completely unique, having a theme can make the decorating process more cohesive and enjoyable. Another idea is to incorporate natural elements into your decor, such as fresh greenery, pine cones, and berries. Not only does this bring a touch of the outdoors inside, but it is also a more sustainable option than buying plastic decorations.
Personalized Christmas Decor
One way to make your Christmas decor feel fresh and special is to personalize it. This can be as simple as making your own ornaments or stockings, or as elaborate as creating custom decorations with your family’s name or initials. Personalized decor adds a unique touch to the holiday season and can become cherished heirlooms for years to come.
Enjoying the Festive Season
Ultimately, the decision about whether or not to deck the halls this Christmas is a personal one. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons and consider what will bring you and your family the most joy during the holiday season. Whether you go all out with extravagant decor or opt for a more minimalist approach, the most important thing is to enjoy the festive season and make cherished memories with your loved ones.
Conclusion
So, as we ponder our choices, I think there will be some festive decor going up. There will be no outdoor lights on the house but a pretty wreath on the door, and inside I will keep it simple but sweet and cozy. After all, it’s not just about the decor…it’s the spirit behind it. Merry Christmas and warm tidings to all!
