Christmas Yard Decorations - Plenty of Festive Options
By Harold Baldwin

Christmas is many people’s favorite time of year, and besides the festivities, decorations are high on the list. Both indoor and outdoor decorations are great, and many people love putting them up. I’m an enormous fan of outdoor decorations and here are some or my all time favorites.

Everyone loves Christmas lights, and they are better and there are many more options than even just a few years ago. Modern LED lights use far less energy as well. The colors and shapes are pretty incredible these days. My favorites include white and clear lights, as these are visible the furthest, as well as multi colored strings and red and green single colored strings. Of course they are available in more colors than you would ever guess. Commercial lights are not much more expensive and may be more economical in the long run as they last longer and the bulbs rarely burn out. Even battery powered lights are available for places not close to commercial power, like the end of my driveway.

Blow up decorations are very popular with the kids. To some extent they’ve replaces rigid plastic outside decorations, and they are bigger, light up, and very festive. We have a blow up Santa the kids love.

Nativity scenes are also popular, and both individual pieces and complete sets are available. Outdoor silhouettes and motifs, wreaths, and both real and artificial decorated trees are also very popular.

Even an apartment dweller can put up a small wreath outside their door.
