Christmas
comes every year and with it comes the responsibility to get all the
decorations up and get the entire house or office into the holiday mood.
However, in the past few years, Christmas
decorations in Ireland have seen
a transformation and a growing number of people are looking at alternate
methods of doing the same. Gone are the days, when the same light strings and
red and blue baubles would be taken out, dusted and put on the tree.
These
days, even the ubiquitous tree has undergone a transformation. For instance,
imagine a regular step ladder being transformed into a Christmas tree! Simply
hang the lights on an open ladder and leave it in a corner. Keep baubles and
holiday related figurines on the steps, and you have a modern day tree, ready.
How
about a Christmas tree lighting idea
that involves your regular lamps? It is actually possible, because if you go
online, you will be able to find lampshades that are conical, quite like the
Christmas tree. Choose one that is green and wrap around some popcorn strings
or even fairy lights and you are all set. This is a great idea for offices,
where a proper tree is not possible, yet there is a desire for a little holiday
spirit.
If you
are looking for an art project for your children, why not ask them to create
pyramids with coloured cotton balls or even balls of yarn or wool. These can be
dismantled quite easily post the holidays, and are completely safe for
children’s rooms. It is also important to remember that Christmas is not just
about the tree and the lights, there is actually much more to it and when you
go looking for online Christmasdecorations, you will realise just that.
This is
the time, when you can let your kids have a lot of fun, contributing to the
decorations. For instance, give them an empty jar or tin, candy cane and loads
of ribbons and bows and ask them to create interesting candy cane holders.
Chances are that your children might completely surprise you. Offer them a
range of things such as pine cones, mistletoe and Christmas ornaments, asking
them to arrange the same in a wicker basket and the result would make for a
great arrangement for the side of the room or even the patio.
If you
too are thinking of doing something different this year, then give these Christmas decorations in Ireland a try!
