Christmas time is party time. We all like to celebrate the holidays with our friends, family members and even strangers.
Colorful ornaments are mandatory, but when we try to expand the Christmas joy outside of our homes, not necessary far, maybe only to the yard, orchard or garden, the nature can and will get in the way very fast. The idea of decorating a Christmas tree in the garden, a living tree with unforgettable smell and feel, is not easy to transfer in reality.
While standard ornaments can be made to last for generation or just for few weeks, the fact is they are in general made for decoration of interior. This means small fluctuations of temperature, no wind, no rain, no direct sunlight and no freezing. So we can't simply take them out and use them outside.
Thanks to breezes of air decorative chains will soon be knotted, ragged and shredded to pieces, with parts wandering everywhere in the neighborhood. Cold air can cause the cracking of decorative balls and stars. Decorated garden can transfer in complete mess in just a few seconds!
Well, of course you can use Christmas ornaments made for outdoors. They are much more durable, made of materials resistant to forces of nature and by the way, they are environmentally friendly too. You can choose from round, oval, sweater and star shaped ceramic ornaments with double sided prints and round and rectangle shaped metal ornaments with one sided print. There are many cute design available already and the part is they are fully customizable.
This means you can use your own photos or drawings to make your very own unique decorations to transform your yard to very special place for you, your family and friends. With your outdoor Christmas ornaments you will create parties to remember and memories to cherish.
Yes, it's really nice to decorate out porches and entry ways to have a holiday feel for it this Christmas. I love putting up bright Christmas decorations to our yards. Just be careful on electric decors though. Happy Holidays!
