Christmas Yard Decor

We Love Christmas Yard Decorations

Decorating your yard for Christmas is an activity the whole family can take part in, and many of my single friends love doing it too.

Although indoor decorations are great, outdoor decorations are seen by more people, tell the world "Merry Christmas," and are just fun and festive!

OK, I'll admit it. I love decorating my yard for Christmas.

Christmas yard decor runs the gamut from religious, like Nativity Scenes, to whimsical, to festive. We are big in the festive category ourselves, but we love them all!

There are just so many choices, including Christmas lights in more colors, patterns and styles than you can imagine!.

Outdoor silhouettes and motifs are also very popular. I love this Lighted Santa in an Airplane, and this four foot lighted Candy Cane With Bow is pretty neat. There are many other choices too of course!

I was originally a bit of a scrooge when I bought my house. I thought a few strings of Christmas lights and maybe a wreath outside would be enough. In fact I kind of hated putting the stuff up, or at least did at first. Not anymore!

Decorated trees are great outside as well as inside. If you don't have any handy trees or bushes, there are plenty of pretty and convenient artificial trees, for example this 7.5' Pre-Lit Marquette Pine Tree.

A few wreaths, both artificial Christmas wreaths and natural Christmas wreaths. I like natural on the front door (they smell great) and a couple of artificial ones on the garage.

Of course you can also make your own wreaths, either from fresh, dry, or artificial branches and more. You are only limited by your imagination, and sometimes unfortunately time :) This can be a great project with kids.

Inflatable Christmas decorations are always a big hit too. We have Frosty the snowman, but he always has to wait for the inflatable Thanksgiving turkey and Halloween decorations to come down first. Inflatable traditional and more modern  & usually lighted options are available. You can buy complete nativity sets or individual pieces. Amazon has a good selection and prices.

What is simply amazing is the scope of Christmas Yard Decor available - I never had any idea. And every year there seem to be more choices!

The children really love them, and all our visitors get a big kick out of them too.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy Christmas Yard Decor :)
