Five Fabulous Christmas Decorating Ideas

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year, and the beauty of Christmas decorations is part of the reason. Few things are more cheerful to me than a home beautifully decorated for the holidays, with cheery touches for every room.

Save money and feed your creative side by making your own at home wrapping paper. It’s time to break out all those bows and decorative craft items you’ve been saving all year and decorate your simply wrapped gifts. You can use brown paper bags to hold smaller gifts that aren’t boxed or treats, and recycle clean, dry supermarket paper bags to wrap larger items and boxes, then tie a pretty bow and add on some pretty and simple decorations:
