Outside Decor:
Grab a notebook and a pen. Let's start with the outside of your house. You don't have to do a balancing act and get on the top of your house to hang Christmas lights. Battery operated candles give your home an instant soft glow when placed in each window. Electric candles do the same. There is such a variety that you can choose skinny or chunky candles. Either will provide you with the warm and welcoming look you want.
Next step is the front door. A wreath hanging on the front door is both welcoming and decorative. So many options here! Do you want fresh, whimsical, or elaborate? Once again the choice is up to you! You can make your own or buy a wreath and put your own touches on it.
How about a Christmas rug? You can find many at your local store. This gives your porch or entry way a bit more of a festive touch in an instant.
You can be done at this point or you can add a few more simple touches to make your home welcoming and warm for the holidays.
So far we've kept things pretty easy and you can decorate the outside of your home in a short time. If you want a few more cute touches, here you go.
Decorate the path to your front door with lanterns, glass jars with sand or rice and a candle inside and top either with a festive or simple bow. In the Fun Lane shows you how. At your local dollar store you can find tall glass containers for a reasonable price if you don't have jars. From simple to wow!

Fill a couple of terra cotta pots with pine boughs and pinecones. Top with ornaments and you've got an instant show stopper. So simple and so beautiful!
You can set up a Christmas tree on your porch just decorated in lights for a nice touch. Add bows if you want to get a little more fancy.
