Decorating for the holidays is often hard work but when it’s all done, you get to sit back and admire the beauty!
Whether you go all out or just add a few holiday pieces here and there, those little festive touches add so much joy into this stressful, but wonderful time of year.
When you are purchasing holiday decor, you can easily blow your entire holiday budget with just a few pieces. Since most of us try to save our extra money to purchase holiday gifts, finding inexpensive ways to decorate is a must.
One of my favorite ways to add a little holiday cheer is by bringing the outside in! You can create beautiful centerpieces just by gathering items from your yard. Pinecones and evergreens in a simple dish makes for an impressive display and it won’t cost you a dime. For those of you who are crafty, consider ditching the expensive wreaths and grabbing your hot glue gun to create one of a kind piece that will welcome your guests.
Another simple way to add holiday cheer is with festive scents from Glade®. With the new Winter Limited Edition scents you can bring a wonderful little burst of joy into your home. Look for four new scents that will help bring the feeling of the season and fill your home with amazing fragrance.

I am not really a decorator but I do love the house to smell nice. I use the plug in scented oils in various scents to make my home smell festive.
Every year the kids go on a shopping trip with me to pick out one special ornament for the year then we all help decorate the house to add holiday cheer!
Hang ALL the shiny things!! Woo hoo!
I add Holiday cheer to my home by decorating with natural items like Cinnamon sticks, and pinecones, Then I put Glade candles all over the house, red and gold pillows on my sofa, and Christmas stockings on my fireplace.

Christmas is my favorite excuse to craft up some seasonal decor! You’d think the point would come when you could have too much, but I’m here to tell you, that’s not true 🙂

I begin by decorating with old, beloved ornaments and decorations and adding something new
(life happens and something gets broken most years). I wrap a couple of my framed pictures to look like presents. To top it off, I use some of those scented products to make the house smell lovely and welcoming. This helps get everyone in a holiday mood.
We start decorating by using Glade plug ins and candles around the house to have the smell of Christmas.
I love to have Christmas music playing and scented candles burning as we decorate our house and throughout the season!
I add holiday cheer by making lots of goodies to eat!
I usually try to do something silly for my boys like….hang up hand made snow flakes or Christmas ornaments from their ceilings while they sleep-so when they wake up they have a nice little surprise. One year we blocked their bedroom doors with red and green party streamers they had to break through before they could get their presents. I want to do a scavenger hunt (in the next couple of years) for their presents, with tricky clues and such 🙂
I use my favorite Glade scents, play Christmas music and bake cookies. You can’ t not be in the Christmas spirit when you are eating warm Christmas cookies with hot chocolate.
