Memorably magical or notably disastrous, Christmases are normally unforgettable. Despite age, the festive season transports us back to our childhood: tinsel on the tree, stockings on the fireplace, and gleeful celebrations with friends and family. For yooungsters especially, each Christmas is written upon their memories and sizes their Christmases to come. In order to create amazing festive memories for the little ones, perfect Christmas decoration is essential. It is the nostalgia of the specific way our halls were decorated, the unique glistening of our tree's twinkle lights and particular way our homes were decorated that create lasting memories and forge expectations of what Christmas means to us.
That quintessential yet transient 'Christmassy feeling' cannot be duplicated and can only be evoked when the decorations are unpacked- no matter how premature that may be! Adorning the home with Christmas decorations becomes a symbol of family and togetherness; activities like putting up the tree together become a traditions to uphold year in, year out. There's always that one bauble or much loved ornament that conjures your spirit and once it has taken pride of place, you know that Christmas has well and truly arrived.
Use Christmas decorations as a way to create lasting memories, like putting the star on the tree. Adorning your home with festive touches and embellishments creates transforms it into a perfect grotto, a magical shelter from the winter cold. In addition, you could even light festive scented candles to create sensory memories; your kids will forever be taken back to the comforting 'smell' of their childhood Christmases. Decorations can also double as thoughtful gifts; favourite ornaments could be passed down the generations or you might even try personalised baubles as unique gift ideas- beautiful Christmas presents with a personal touch.
In terms of exploring different festive themes and colour schemes, turn to classic reds, greens and golds for a traditional approach. For a more contemporary Christmas why not go for modern monochrome, adding silver and translucent touches for a frosty feel. For the more adventurous, experiment with clashing bright coloured baubles and multi-coloured lights. Just be sure not to get too carried away, or it could end up looking more like a carnival than Christmas!
'What does Christmas mean to me?' is what should always be considered when decorating your home for the festive season. Christmas is a time when the taste of others becomes irrelevant; your home should reflect how you view the holiday, how it makes you feel and how you want it to be remembered. You should not put up any decoration you don't truly adore. It's all about creating memories and starting traditions, and handmade gift ideas and decorations can become tangible mementos of Christmases past (merry or miserable!)
