Top 5 Christmas Decorations for 2020
This whole year has been difficult in so many ways. For many people, this holiday season will be the first time they won’t be able to gather together with their family to celebrate. But there are things you can do to make this Christmas a little more merry and bright. Here are the top 5 Christmas decorations for 2020. Some are nostalgic, some are new and exciting, but all of them will make your holidays a little merrier.
Christmas Wreaths
The Christmas wreath traditionally represents the wheel of life, the way that the seasons and the years cycle by without a true beginning or end. Wreaths are also endlessly customizable, with ornaments, pinecones, holly berries, and snowflakes often adorning them. Pick up a real wreath that will bring some nostalgic Christmas cheer into your home, or you can get an artificial wreath that will stay with you year after year. In addition, there are many charities that sell wreaths around the Christmas season, so you can find a charity you want to support and get a beautiful Christmas decoration while supporting a good cause.
Candles
Smell is the sense most connected to memory, so having Christmas smells can bring you joy and nostalgia even in the most unprecedented of times. Have fun looking at all the different scents, from classics like pine and peppermint to gingerbread and Christmas village scented candles. The flames, as well, are comforting and bring holiday cheer to your home. There are many candles that have fun shapes as well, such as Santas and Christmas trees. By engaging multiple senses, you’ll make sure that your Christmas decorations will encompass your entire household.
Christmas Lights
For a more literal version of merry and bright, you can use this year to incorporate more Christmas lights into your holiday decorating. In addition to the coziness they add to any room in your house, they are also a way to share Christmas cheer with your entire neighborhood in a time when other Christmas traditions may have to be abandoned or modified because of social distancing. Christmas lights also have the advantage of being infinitely customizable. From Christmas lights with music to multicolored strands, you will be able to make them suit any sort of room or decorating scheme.
Christmas Movie Memorabilia
If you want an overdose of Christmas nostalgia in your decorating, then you should consider getting some memorabilia from the Christmas movies of your childhood. The best thing about this strategy is that it’s easy to find Christmas movie memorabilia that is inexpensive or second-hand. That means that, unless some of the strategies on this list, you’ll be able to use Christmas movie memorabilia in your decorating without a huge amount of financial commitment. It’s also a more lighthearted and fun way to decorate.
Christmas Ornaments
Christmas ornaments don’t have to just be for your tree. You can use them all around your home, hanging them from wreaths and garlands that you might put around the various rooms in your house or apartment. Christmas ornaments are also just as easy to find second-hand or inexpensively as Christmas movie memorabilia, which means that you won’t have to spend a lot in order to decorate your entire home. You don’t have to get ornaments that match or even look similar. You just have to find ornaments that you think are beautiful or fun. The holiday season can be a stressful time, especially this year, but decorating for it doesn’t have to be. With these Christmas decorations, you’ll be able to spread Christmas cheer around your family and your neighborhood without breaking the bank.
