You may feel that decorating for Christmas is just whimsical, spur of the moment decorating. But if you think about it, the most beautiful holiday decorations follow basic principles of decorating that you'd use throughout the year. By repeating colors, themes, and decorating elements, you actually add consistency to your holiday decor.
As an example, if you plan to decorate with traditional red and green, be sure to purchase enough decorative ribbon to compliment your decor so that you can use it on your front door wreath, on a stairway garland, on the Christmas tree, centerpieces and even gift wrappings. The decorations will tie together and have a flow about them as you move from room to room.
