One of the best places to begin searching for Christmas decorating ideas is by looking at your front door. You can purchase a traditional Christmas wreath for front door or use a modern design made with ribbons, pine cones, or even a steampunk design. It can have fruits and berries or bright eclectic colors.

The holidays are a time of year for celebrating and decorating your home in style. There are so many wonderful ideas you can use to create cheer and excitement for you and all of your neighbors to enjoy. Using Christmas decorations for outside is a way to communicate your own beliefs and get everyone into the holiday spirit.

Here are some great outside Christmas decorating ideas to get you started:

Joy Outdoor Christmas Decorations

Once you have stepped out the door, look around your front porch. If you already have decorative plants there, consider lighting them up with traditional outdoor christmas lights battery operated with timer or select from designer lights that represent your favorite colors or themes. You can also add lights around your woodwork or doorway entrance. Bright candy cane lights for the yard would look great here.

Looking at the rest of your porch and your yard, there are so many things you can do. For instance, you can put up snowman blow up decorations.

If you live in a warmer climate, you might consider creating a melted snowman. Mix some gel and glitter into water and let set. Place the “melted” snowman on the ground and place a holiday scarf, decorative carrot, two pieces of coal and a top hat on him. Your neighbors are sure to get a laugh.

You can also put outdoor Christmas tree light decorations on some or all of your outdoor trees. Add to the decor with large outdoor Christmas yard ornaments and use some tinsel wraps to make every tree in your yard look like a Christmas tree.

Another alternative is to trim your house, porch, and windows with twinkling white icicle lights. Put up a yard display that appeals to your inner child, such as an outdoor Santa sleigh and reindeer decoration or the Polar Express.
