    I love decorating for the Holiday season. If there is anything that puts me in the Christmas spirit it is decorating the house and putting up the Christmas tree. I hope you enjoy a few of my Holiday decorating touches.

    Holiday planters are a great way to decorate the outside of your home.  A collection of greens, tree branches and ribbon make a decorative display for your yard.
