You are thinking about Christmas and you don’t know what to do to decorate properly and with style your house or your apartment? We have some ideas for you that could be helpful. Christmas Magics is here to help you!

When you buy christmas lights, you want to take into account your house/apartment decoration. It’s not that simple but with simple planning it’s doable. It’s better to plan before in order to avoid basic style mistakes. Your guests might be disappointed otherwise and we don’t want that to happen. That would be unfortunate for your family and your guests. You want to make sure that colors and style match with each other. It’s a simple rule. Again, easy to say but it’s more complicated to make that happen. You can buy one or two christmas lights to make a test and see if it makes sense for the decoration of your house. If that does not work, you can always rerturn it and try another color. There is nothing wrong about that!

At the end of the day, enjoy the process of decorating your house or your apartment. Be creative, have fun and dare putting some excentricity in your home! You won’t regret it! You can include your kids in the process because they will be excited sharing a family moment with you. Those moments are always exciting and it would be a shame not to enjoy them.

We have found a new idea that could be a fun feature for your christmas decoration: Solar Christmas Lights. It’s a new type of lights that can help you save energy and the environment and at the same time you can decorate your house or apartment for christmas with style. That’s exciting, right? Light bulbs manufacturers have listened to their customer demands and they have understood that it’s time to take the environment into account because people care about it. It involved some R&D to make that happen but at the end they are able to offer some nice solar powered christmas lights. One day after the other, we are taking care of the environment and that’s an exciting thing! At Christmas magics, we try to combine these two things: decorate your house with style and passion and take care of the environment. Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with us if you have ideas to protect the environment and decorate your house with style. We are here to share to help!

Decorating for Christmas

Our daughter recently started a job with a finance company. After five years in college she had finally decided on a major and completed her degree. She and a friend moved into a two bedroom apartment. They are both just starting out, but they want to be independent in purchasing things for their apartment. My daughter feels that we supported her enough getting her through the five years of college.

The girls have gone to second hand stores and discount stores to decorate their apartment. It looks nice and they will buy new pieces once they are able to afford them. My daughter asked us over for dinner early in December. She said they had been decorating for Christmas and they wanted us to see the apartment. My daughter has always loved Christmas as much as I do. She and I would spend hours decorating for Christmas when she was still living at home. My husband commented on our way over to her apartment that he hoped she did not spend a lot of money on decorating for Christmas because her car needed replacing very soon.

I asked him not to nag her about spending money. She is pleased with her salary and she is quite responsible. I reminded him that when we were her age we did not always buy the most practical things. He promised not to bring up the issue of her car.

When we arrived at their apartment you could see some of their decorations from the parking lot. They live on the second floor of a three story building. They have a deck that faces the parking lot. On the deck they had wrapped Christmas lights around the rail along with evergreen garland. They had red bows attached to the garland. Our family had always included the outside of our home in decorating for Christmas, so I was pleased to see that she was carrying on that tradition.

Inside the apartment the girls had bought a nice Christmas tree and had decorated it with lights and colored bulbs and tinsel. My daughter had also placed her assortment of ornaments on the tree that I had given her through the years. They also gift wrapped their apartment door. They had candles on the table and a nice center piece on the coffee table. My daughter’s first attempt at decorating for Christmas was a great success. They bought inexpensive things, but they grouped them together well and the over all look was very festive. I know she will add to her collection of decorations as the years go by.

Outdoor Christmas Decorations

My favorite time of the year is Christmas time. I love everything about the season. I live in Minnesota so this is the time of year when we begin to have snow on the ground and ice on the lakes. It is a beautiful time to begin with, then as people begin adding outdoor Christmas decorations the neighborhoods become magical. I love to take walks at dusk and watch the lights come on creating a winter wonderland before my eyes. Although I love Christmas I am very particular about outdoor Christmas decorations. My favorite decorations are the use of lights in trees and bushes in the yards. I am not a fan of the huge blow up snowmen and Santa’s or the cartoon characters that are dressed to look like Santa Claus.

When I was growing up the neighbor across the road from us had a huge pine tree. Each year he would use extension ladders to place the strands of large colored bulbs in the tree. The project would take him and his sons several hours to complete and the end result was a lit tree that could be seen a half mile away. He did not believe in leaving the outdoor Christmas decorations on the tree over the summer. He would put them on the day after Thanksgiving and remove them a few days after the beginning of the New Year. This was a great deal of work, compared to plugging in a ten foot snowman, but the lit tree was awesome for others to enjoy. It was very touching to everyone the year that the neighbor’s wife died. He placed all blue lights on the tree that year to let us know he would be having a blue Christmas. He told my mother that it was helpful to him and a remembrance to his wife.

One of my neighbors knows that I dislike the gaudy outdoor Christmas decorations. He is always looking for practical jokes to play. Last year when he knew that my husband and I were going to be gone for the day he decorated our yard with several lit Christmas lawn ornaments. He had purchased several old outdoor Christmas decorations throughout the summer at garage sales. He had extension cords running from one end of our yard to the other to get all the decorations lit. There was a full scene of the peanut characters, several Disney characters and a huge lit palm tree with lit pink flamingoes with Christmas lei’s around their necks. We could see the display a block before we arrived at our yard. Several neighbors were gathering in front of our house to look at the elaborate display. My neighbor sat at his living room window watching the scene. My husband and I are now plotting how we are going to out do his practical joke. The neighbor has a second home in Florida so we are trying to coordinate getting the outdoor Christmas decorations sent there. His brother-in-law has agreed to set them up in the yard.
