Day 6: Decorating!
{PRIVATE CLASS}
Decorating the house, inside and out is one of the ways to bring the coziness of Christmas to your home.
Your mission: Capture the beauty of your holiday decorations.
Photo ideas:
- The big pile of decorations.
- Before and After photos of your room/house.
- Standing on the ladder to hang a garland/wreath.
- The mantle or other display area.
- Some close-up photos of the decorations.
- You/your family by the front door.
But wait… here are some more ideas… let’s explore wreaths, garlands and stockings a little further.
Wreaths and Garlands:
A circle is symbolic of eternity or eternal life, and that is only one of the meanings of Holiday Wreaths. Whether your wreath is a symbolic part of your Christmas or just a beautiful decoration it adds beauty to your home.
Things to consider:
- Does your wreath provide the finishing touch to the decorations at the entrance of your home?
- Do you use wreaths on your Christmas diner table?
- Why do you have the type of wreath that you have?
How do you bring a bit of nature into your home at Christmas? Some people love to add a bit of nature with a fresh bough garland. Even if your ‘nature’ is faux or bought in a store it still is symbolic of bringing the outdoors inside, so it counts!

STOCKINGS:
Perhaps you also hang stockings?
“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.”
Are Christmas stockings a tradition at your house? What goes in the stockings? Where do they hang? When do you receive them?
Christmas stockings are a fun part of Christmas for many people but if you don’t hang stockings perhaps you’ll share recollections of Christmas stockings from your past, or another Christmas tradition.
Alternate idea:
- New Christmas Pj’s, do you get/give new pyjamas on Christmas Eve?
