Christ came to be a light in this dark world. Reflect his light this Christmas in your home with simple, special lighting. Any room can be enhanced by flickering candles, twinkling lights, an advent wreath, or spotlights. Christ also came to give us everlasting life. Evergreens remind us of that fact as they bring life to our homes during the holidays.
Greenery is a simple way to decorate inexpensively and beautifully.
Take your garden snippers out back and cut some fresh greenery. In Atlanta, I cut pine branches, juniper, magnolia leaves, holly, and whatever else looks green and lively. Soaking greenery in a tub or wheelbarrow of water overnight will add moisture and allow greenery to last longer indoors. When it comes to choosing colors for decorating your home at Christmas, there s nothing more Christmasy than the traditional red and green. In the Middle Ages, holly was used to decorate churches in England.
