Decorate with Books

Find books in your home with red and green spines and group them together for a festive look. I like to add a candle on top of the books.

Display Santa Photos

Every year my kids visit Santa and take a photo. Framing these photos and displaying them year after year is a fun way to decorate for Christmas. If you have old photos of family members visiting Santa through the years, put those on display as well for major nostalgia.
