Christmas holiday guide 2009

by Jan Peterson

The holidays can get crazy. Everyone has too much to do in too little time; too much to buy with too little cash in a tight economy. There are parties to plan, family schedules to coordinate, a house to decorate, inside and out. The list goes on and on. But don’t despair, this recap of ideas and resources will help ease some of the pain and bring 'Merry' back into Merry Christmas.

Decorating the tree this holiday season
The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of every home during the holidays. For ideas to add more “unique” to your Christmas tree, read “Unique Christmas tree decorating themes” and learn how to create an Angelic or Rustic tree, or create salt dough ornaments.

Decorating inside your home
Creating a magical home during the holidays is fun  but sometimes stressful. For stress-reducing decorating ideas for the home that are a snap, read “Christmas home decorating made simple" and “Ten creative Christmas candle decorating ideas”. If guests will be visiting for the holidays, “Christmas Bedding on a Budget" will provide ideas for finding bedding that will help create a guest room they’ll never want to leave!  For great ideas for the font door, view the slide show in the article, "Christmas wreath ideas".
