1. Dress up that tree
Christmas will never be complete without a tree. Whether you have a six-foot, green pine tree or a two-feet winter land wonder, getting a tree is a must during the Holidays. Get your kids to help in choosing the best tree to decorate your house. Choose the right height of tree so that your living room will not be overcrowded, and the tree should smell fresh, have a bright color, and the needles should be strongly attached to the branches. When decorating your Christmas tree, you can either choose a color scheme like red, green, silver or gold. Or, you can go crazy and have a tree with a mixture of all the holiday colors. Put the lights on your tree first, followed by garlands, with the ornaments of your choice as the last ones to go on your tree. Start and Go ahead your merrymaking by filling your home with the scent of fresh pine needles and add color to the Holidays with a brightly-lit and gaily decorated Christmas tree.
2. Light up your home
Place outdoor Christmas lights to decorate the outside of your home. Welcome, your holiday guests with a brightly-lit entryway. Trees and shrubs, as well as your windows and doors, your lawn and porch can be decorated with outdoor Christmas lights. You can either use a multi-colored light scheme or the traditional yellow lights. There are also several light bulb designs to choose from. Just make sure to ask the advice of an electrician if you plan to place hundreds of outdoor Christmas lights to decorate your home to have a safe setup. To spice things up, you can also surround metals shaped like a reindeer, Santa Claus or a snowman with Christmas lights. Holiday inflatable décor should also be a hit to the children and are a great conversation piece.
3. Go with time-honored traditions
Aside from Christmas trees, a wreath is another time-honored holiday décor that your home cannot be without. Christmas and Mistletoes socks hung by the fireplace are other great, traditional decors that you can use.
4. Spruce up your Christmas dinner table
Christmas is never complete without a sumptuous family dinner. Make your family feasts even more special by decorating your dinner table with colorful Christmas décor.

Use a lot of poinsettias, or any bright colored flowers. There are also Christmas-themed mats and table cloths that you can use. If you are on a tight budget, get all of the red, green and gold sheets and decors that you have out of the attic and use them to decorate your home.
