CHRISTMAS 9 Christmas Decorating Ideas You May Not Have Thought Of

Getting ready to decorate for Christmas? Here are 9 Christmas decorating ideas, tips, and inspiration you may not have thought of.

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year.

Daylight savings magazine day.

You know.

The day I make my annual November trip to the bookstore and come home with an armful of Christmas magazines.

Sigh.

I never met a Christmas magazine I didn’t like. The pages are full of decor and stockings and trees and mantels and front doors and wreaths and tons of Christmas ideas I haven’t ever thought of before.

So today when we are given the gift of an extra hour, I want to fill it with Christmas ideas and inspiration.

Here are 9 Christmas decorating ideas you may not have thought of.
