ARA) - The holiday season is a time to step back from daily routines, reflect and spend time with beloved ones. This year, take time to truly feel the holiday spirit by gathering family and friends together to decorate the house for holiday festivities.
Try these 10 special yet simple activities to be enjoyed with beloved ones:
* Fill your house with the warm, beautiful light of candles. During the holidays, candles are accessible in all shapes, sizes and styles -- often beady with glitter and sequins for an even as much glimmering effect. Cluster them together in a open fireplace as an alternative to a noise
fire.
* Create gay table decorations -- a fun and easy project to do with the kids! Grab several plain salt and pepper shakers, spread
on several glue, then add glitter, sequins, silver stars and puffy paint . . . voila, these shining shakers are sure to add decoration -- with function -- the table.
* Top the tree with thing
extraordinary. Have an older guest and a younger one create the focal point of the room by topping the tree together with an eye-catching decoration. This season, Swarovski introduces a crystal Tree Topper, a beautiful large crystal star encircled by six smaller stars creating the appearance of a large snowflake. Accessible in either chrome or gold plating, the tree topper creates a beautiful crown for a Christmas tree, a centerpiece for a holiday table or mantle decoration.
* Wrap silver or gold garland about lampposts, pillars and steps banisters and drape tinsel on mirror frames and mantles. Add bows for several additional color and sparkle.
* Bake cookies! Use fun holiday-themed cookie cutters to create several shaped treats and decorate them with colored sugars and glossy icing.
* Catch the light. Swarovski’s Little Star Ornament can be displayed anyplace
from the mantle to a pendant against a window. Fill your house with these miniature six-point stars to bring cheer into every room. Hang multiples of the same crystal ornament from a mantle, interspersed with greenery, colorful berries and candles creating a personalized holiday display.
* Cover throw pillows with gay slipcovers or purchase simple ones and add on beads in holiday colors. All that is required is a needle and thread, several beads, trim and lots of creativity.
* Fashion napkin holders out of crystal ornaments and now place them about fancy material napkins to top off a gay holiday table.
* Sprinkle glitter on flat surfaces to do a holiday table, mantle, shelf, sill
twinkle.
* To do the new tradition of decorating together even as much special, give unforgettable
gifts to each active member this year. Swarovski’s 2003 Annual Edition Ornament is an eight-point star which beautifies the house by catching light through its 207 crystal facets. This collectors item includes a silver plate carven with the year is suspended from the ornament’s navy blue ribbon. The ornament, which is updated each year, is a perfect gift to mark the years and start a holiday gift-giving tradition.
Fun with beloved ones is what holiday spirit is all about. Celebrate each other. Do memories and traditions this year that wish last forever.
