There are many, many different ways and ideas for making homemade Christmas tree ornaments. Fill your tree with them, and let your dinner guests choose one to take home with them. Some of my favorite ones to make are the dough snowmen, gingerbread ornaments, and Christmas card ornaments!

Don't "do it because the neighbors are doing it" Decorate your house -inside and out- the way you feel reflects your personality the most. Whether is traditional or totally new age, simple or over-the-top! Be you!

Nothing gets ones heart and mind in the Christmas spirit more than those well known Christmas tunes. Throw a CD in or turn that iPod on and crank up the tunes as you go about your daily duties!

Take plain pillar candles and decorate them with your choice of glitter and ribbons. Or better yet, make your own candles. I saw one picture where they actually had made a candle in a Christmas teacup. It was so cute!!
I hope with these ideas that I have inspired you just a bit this holiday season! Have a wonderful Christmas!
