String up family photos, trinkets and tokens of moments that mark special days in your lives. Wind it around each tier and watch laughing recollections of shared journeys commence.

Mount miniature trees decked with treats and candy canes and place it in the other rooms. You will be the most popular aunt for the months to come.
Do not forget to leave your stockings by the chimney. If you have no fireplace to hang them on, put them by the wall or stairwell”prominently displayed so Santa wont have a hard time looking around for them. Tie pretty silk ribbons and flowers by the windows and lamps. Oh and before I forget, buy your mistletoes and keep them in a strategic spot by the doorway.

Especially if you have a wide and spacious front lawn, you have so many things you can do. Dont worry; it need not even be expensive or too solemn. Have fun with it! Make wooden cutouts and spray paint them with glitter. Buy those large Styrofoam balls and put them together to make a party of crazy snowmen living it up in your front yard.
As you begin decorating your holiday home, be aware of taking safety precautions amidst the excitement and flurry of activities.
