Decorating a house for the holidays is incredibly fun. Make it a family activity to deck out your halls and your entire home, both inside and outside. The following Christmas decor items are sure to get everyone in the holiday mood:

1. Personalized Christmas stockings
Personalized Christmas décor is appreciated because of its timeless quality. Each year when they are brought out they bring to mind all the fun and nostalgia from past years. Choose from many different holiday stocking designs. Many have snowy backgrounds on them, complete with reindeer and snowmen. Needlepoint stockings with personalized names embroidered are particularly lovely and festive for hanging on your mantle.

2. LED Christmas string lights
LED lights come in a wide variety of sizes and colors. Some light stringers might like the lights all one color on the Christmas tree while others think the more variety of color the better. Besides, hanging on your Christmas tree, LED string lights are also very festive bordering windows. They come in the traditional Christmas colors of red and green. Trendier choices include aquamarine and deep midnight blue.

3. Artificial Christmas trees
Today’s artificial trees are great because they are easy to set up and don’t drop any needles on the floor. Choices include faux balsam, spruce, and fir. Sizes come in full, narrow, and in a slim size for small spaces. Do you prefer it green, or do you want it covered to look like it has just snowed? Some like artificial trees that are as tall as their ceilings allow. Besides your main Christmas tree why not also set up a few table-sized ones?

4. Door wreaths
Do you want a door wreath that’s big and showy or one that’s simple and elegant? There are so many choices from which to choose. Pine cones, red berries, ribbons, miniature wrapped packages, and candy canes are possible decorations. You can buy one ready made or make one yourself from arts and craft store supplies. These are fun to make as a family project.

5. Dancing Santa
These fun festive Santas are sure to bring smiles to the faces of all that see this classic figure. Some simply wiggle from side to side. Others dance more rigorously. Different dancing Santas have different holiday tunes. One thing is sure. They help to bring out the holiday spirit.

6. Personalized Christmas ornaments
Festive tree ornaments come in dozens of seasonal designs and colors. Order them for individuals or for the whole family. Penguins, reindeers, sleighs, and elves are just a few of the possible choices. They make great gifts. Order them early to make sure they arrive in time for the holidays.

7. Garland
Garlands can be twisted along windows, around the front door, and strung along mantels in a stylish way. They add a festive touch to any home. Some come with small lights and red berries that add colorful accents.
