Start early. 

First off, make sure that you start early, whether that means planning early or physically putting up the décor early. Everyone has a preference as to when they would like to have their holiday decorations, such as their Christmas tree, up. Regardless of when you would like your decorations to be up, make sure that you start planning ahead in a way that is realistic and doable for your own personal lifestyle.

You want the decorating process to be relaxing and fun, not overwhelming and unenjoyable. Make sure that you are aware of what décor you have already and what you may need to buy and try to get everything pulled together early enough so when you are ready to decorate, you can dive right in! 

Involve the family. 

Holiday decorating should not ever feel like it is a chore! Do not take on the daunting task of decorating the interior and exterior of your home all by yourself – make it into a fun family get-together! If you have children, it is also fun to get a small tree for each of their bedrooms, as well as allowing them to decorate their rooms with holiday décor that fits their own personal style. And, when it comes to decorating the tree, let everyone in the family pick some of their own favorite ornaments to buy and put up, which will serve as a fun tradition to do every holiday season. 

Make it a festive night. 

When it comes to decorating for the holidays, you can never be too festive. That is why in addition to decorating your home, you should try to make it into a full event! You cannot decorate for the holidays without some holiday music in the background, some holiday-scented candles lit, as well as some cookies and other festive snacks to munch on. And do not forget to snap some photos so that you can remember these fun memories with your loved ones for years to come.

Remember – less is more. 

Make sure that as you are decorating you are not overdoing it or making any rooms look tacky. While the holidays can be an excuse to decorate in an extravagant way, you do not want to overwhelm your home with so much décor that it becomes a distraction. Use your best judgement when it comes to pieces of décor and color schemes that work best for your home, while still getting you into the holiday spirit.

Use budget-friendly décor. 

On the same note, make sure that you are not overspending for decorations in your home. You can easily find great looking decorations and ornaments that are inexpensive and will not break the bank. Remember, you will only be using these decorations for a couple months (depending on how early you begin to decorate!) so you do not need to invest too much money, especially since you will also be budgeting for holiday gifts.
