A few ideas for spreading holiday cheer throughout the home:

· Tie wire edged ribbon on anything around the home—candle sticks, chair backs, vases.
· Add greenery and berries to the chandelier in the dining room
· Place candles on the dining table, on the mantle, on the coffee table and anywhere else throughout the house. Use different size pillar candles, either plain, colored candles or glitter-covered candles. Surround them with greenery, berries or other holiday accents.
· Poinsettias—real or fake, white or red, covered in glitter or left natural—make beautiful holiday decorations anywhere in the home.
