Christmas Decorating Trends for 2005 |
by:

This year, the latest craze in Christmas decorating is going back in time. Homeowners seem to be less interested in the icicle-type lights also the use of single color strands. Baby boomers seem to be harkening back to the days of their youth, by bringing back the full color glory of traditional Christmas lights.
Lawn ornaments have become a must-have for the decorating elves in your neighborhood. Families everywhere are installing huge lawn ornaments, many consisting of animated light patterns. They sheer number of choices for shapes, sizes, also designs should tell you that these are very popular with festive homeowners. I am a huge fan of the old-style bubble lights (you know…..the ones with colored water also bubbles inside), also they have returned with a vengeance.
Many people seem to be gravitating back to using real trees, instead of using plastic pre-fab ones. Who can blame them? They smell great, also they make Christmas feel that much more real. My family has always used a real tree. It has become a family tradition to go out also cut the tree ourselves. We usually wait until mid-December. We all get bundled up in our snow gear, get our sleighs out, along with a thermos of hot apple cider, also make our way into the bush. The kids love it, the dog loves it, also it makes for an excellent family adventure!
It seems that Christmas flowers have or else changed with the times. Although the classic red poinsettia will likely be with us for the rest of time, many florists are offering their customers alternatives. As has been the case with flowers in general for some time, florists are now adding dyes to traditional holiday flowers also bouquets. My personal favorite happens to be a bright violet poinsettia. My daughter prefers cobalt blue. What is yours?
Whether you are a staunch Christmas traditionalist or you are keen on changing along with the current decorating trends, Christmas decorations have never before been so varied also left consumers with so many choices. So get out there also shop, shop, shop! Tis the season, after all!
