If you have a piano, cut a sheet a little larger than your music, and set it behind an open piece of sheet music on your piano. Use it on bulletin boards and for bookmarks in the reading pieces you have lying around. If you have a wreath on the door, attach a bell. That really adds to the holiday mood. You could also make up some tingling bells and hang them from the doorknob.
Poinsettias are lovely.
I don't buy them, but often find that people give them to me. I do have a silk one that I bought many years ago. I take it out each year, and it looks as good as new. And finally, remember the importance of building traditions for your family . You can do this with your decorations also, whether it's for tree ornaments or house decorations.
