light up your pictures this Christmas

Here’s a fun christmas decorating idea from Country Living and Sears…

Cluster a few of your picture frames together on a mantel, buffet or sofa table. Place a low round candle in front of each and wrap some pine branches or holly around the bottom. A simple way to add some Christmas decor around the house… and light up your pictures at night!

what’s new in christmas tree ornaments

What’s new in Christmas ornaments? According to trend experts and a new collectionfrom Country Living at Sears… it’s birds and owls. But not just any birds and owls.

If you’re looking to spruce up your Christmas tree or holiday decor this year, look for well-fed birds and owls. Yes, the pudgier the better. Seems the fowl of the earth didn’t suffer any recessionary cutbacks in 2009.  They’ve been eating just fine.

These charmers are quite cute. They make a fun Christmas tree ornament… or addition to a Christmas table centerpiece.
