5 Essential Christmas Decorations

If you’re running late, or just plain don’t have the time to decorate your house for Christmas, then don’t stress. Just make sure that these 5 essential Christmas Decorations are present, and more than half of your decorating is done.

Christmas Tree

No home is complete without one! Even if you have a few other decorations, this is the showstopper. You get a wide variety of Christmas trees; you can use a live one or choose to buy an artificial one from the store. There is nothing like using a live tree, but you will have to be more cautious as the tree ornaments and lights could damage it.

The benefit of having an artificial tree is that you can get them ready-made with lights, any height, any colour and made from any material. The other good thing is they fold up and fit neatly into a box, making it a space-saving option. Don’t forget, along with the tree do pick up a few Christmas tree ornaments (if your tress does not come with it).

Nativity Scene

A crib or Nativity Scene is a must, Christmas is all about the birth of Christ and a Nativity Scene tell us that story. There are many ways to create a Nativity Scene, some prefer making one, they spend weeks growing grass, making a little wooden or cardboard manger and then placing the figurines in it. The other way to do it is to buy the whole thing ready-made.

The good thing about making one is it can be as small or as elaborate as you wish. If you have kids at home, it’s a great way to keep them occupied and give them a task to do. The downside is figuring out what to do with all your materials when Christmas is done.

Stars

There are two stars that you must have, one that goes on top of your tree, and the other that goes outside your home. The star on top of your tree can be silver or gold (depending on the colour scheme you’re going for) and can be made from glass, crystal, plastic, metal and so on.

The star that goes outside is usually much larger and is made from paper or plastic. Earlier, people took great joy in sitting together as a family and making their star. They used to make a frame from sticks, cover it with paper then decorate it. Now, you get really great readymade ones that come in an amazing variety of shapes, sizes, colours and types. Hang it out and put a bulb in it to make it glow at night.

Christmas Wreath

This is a must-have for your front door. If you are decorating, don’t neglect your front door. These wreaths can go from minimalistic and elegant to fancy and fun. You can either make one using your own plants, dry flowers, etc. and tying them up with beautiful bows, or get one that’s readymade.

The ready-made ones are a time saver and can last for years to come. If you think they are too simple, you can dress them up more by adding your own touch to it.

Stockings

These are great to hang at home, especially if you have kids, or, even if you don’t. You can get them personalized if you’re buying them at a store. Or, you can knit/stitch them at home on your own. They are extremely simple to make and decorate.

Hang them by the tree or if you have a fireplace then hang it. Ensure that every member of the family gets one. You can place your gifts in them or use it for candy, whatever it is, it is a great decoration to have at Christmas.

Remember, these are just the essentials, you can go as big as you want for Christmas with many lights and ornaments. The other top picks are Santa, Reindeer, Gift boxes, tinsel, colourful beads, streamers and more!

If you feel that the best gift for this season is to move to a new place, then we’ve got you covered. Check out homes you can rent or buy on NoBroker by clicking below.
