Memories Of Christmas Created Using Traditional Christmas Decor
Submitted by: Seraphina Amelia Dornan
The traditions passed down through the generations can have great impact on the traditional way we decorate our homes at Christmas time. For families with deep roots that go back to old world traditions it means displaying ornaments and decorations that have passed down for generation after generation. Each generation adds their own unique spin on a collection of deeply loved items displayed around the homes during Christmas. Creating memories does not take a great deal of effort and leaves something to be treasured as children leave home, and the invertible loss of older family members. This Christmas bring a few old traditions back to life, and create new memories for your children.
Christmas Tree Decorations
Instead of buying all new ornaments this year, you can create hand-made ornaments that will reflect the personality and creative ability of your family and friends. With a little planning you can gather everyone together and host an ornament party. You can purchase all of the supplies at the local craft store and be ready to go in no time. Using plastic, tin or aluminum plates and pans, scissors, glue and glitter you can create personalized, star shapes that can hold a favorite picture or Christmas prints. These adorable handcrafted ornaments can become treasured mementos of family and friends. You can hang them on the tree or create a collage of shapes in a framed setting.
Using a central theme of Santa and his elves, you can create tiny replicas of the famous characters using clothes pins, cotton balls, and felt. With a little decorative paint, your ornaments will be ready in no time.
Traditional Colors Bring Home the Flavor of Christmas Past
The modern use of pastels and ornate colored schemed themes for Christmas can be set back for a year, and the traditional use of the reds, greens, silver and gold can create a traditional color scheme. Bring home the old fashioned feel of a traditional d cor with the addition of braided oval rugs in reds and greens to warm the floors of your home. Placing an area rug that features a Christmas print underneath your dining table can add a touch of old world charm to a modern home. Do not forget the smallest room in the house at Christmas time; the bathroom can receive a touch of the Season by using a red rug in place of the usual one. Placing green rugs in the kitchen can add a touch of traditional color, and provide safe footing at the same time. Using throw pillows as accents in the living room and bedrooms, can add splashes of festive color to any rooms d cor, and be a reminder of the many jeweled tones traditionally associated with Christmas.
Placing your evergreen tree atop a beautifully hued Christmas area rug can provide for easy clean-up of fallen needles during the Holiday Season. Using clear glass or plastic ornament balls, you can fill them with splashes of red, green, silver, or gold, and display the traditional colors and still have a very modern tree that displays your sense of style.
Whatever way you decide to bring the traditional d cor of Christmas into your home, it will provide the perfect way to create memories for everyone. Do not forget to take plenty of pictures and display them all year lone. Pose the family on a large rug in front of the fireplace, and have them hold one of the ornaments or decorations they personally created, and you will have a lasting memory of a fun time spent creating traditional Christmas d cor for your family.
