When Christmas comes around it is a pleasure to adorn....
One of my favorite and perhaps one of the easiest as well is a large glass vase with a candle and some greens. Sometimes Pine, sometimes Ivy wrapped around the candle. i fill the bottom of the vase with 2 cups of salt. This helps the candle to be still.Note, do not use sugar as insects and mice would love it.
Another wonderful easy decoration is a good looking flowerpot in the perfect size for a large candle. I normally fill the pot with sand where i place the candle. The empty space around the candle is filled with white moss.
I often make a wreath of different greens and use it as a candle holder. It is a great center piece for the Christmas Eve dinner.
There is no Christmas without an Amaryllis flower , they are so tall, proud and elegant....
A classic decoration is Pomanders, orange with cloves. It makes a lovely gift.
The scent alone of citrus-spice is very inviting.
I love a white Christmas but is weak for the traditional red as well. The bedrooms are normally getting some red details. Blankets, pillows and slippers for this moment. It gives a warm and friendly mood.
Red apples are never a mistake in a Christmas decoration. This time on a bed of pine branches.
The garden takes care of the decoration by it self....
Chinese lanterns are also making a festive mood.
The Rosa rugosa in the garden is left to seed for Christmas ornaments.
Here is a good example, a wreath made by a friend.
All the presents are very decorative as well, to keep around for the gift giving moment.
Merry Christmas,
Gunn
