Themes for Christmas Decorations

Create Unique Christmas Decor Around a Special Interest

Decorating a room or party around a theme has been popular for ages. Each year, department stores choose a theme for their Christmas deocrations. Party planners choose a theme for the focus of big celebrations. The Tournament of Roses President chooses a theme for the festivities on New Year's Day. Parents choose a theme to decorate their child's room.

It's only natural that you'd think of choosing a theme to decorate your home for Christmas. Having a unified theme helps the look to flow from room to room or tree to table.

Choose to showcase a special collection that you can't have on display all year. Christmas is the perfect time to give these items a place of distinction, enjoy them, share them, then put them away until next year.

Plan a party around a theme.
Children love a breakfast with Santa, my musical friend plans a dinner around a musical theme each Christmas, and another friend invites her dearest friends for luncheon each hoiday time and the theme is "love." Everything is decorated in red and white with hearts everywhere.

Even if you don't do a lot of decorating for Christmas, it's natural to decorate a Christmas tree with a theme. Place a small Christmas tree in a child's bedroom decorated with small toys, miniature dolls, or small sports items. Add twinkling white lights and you'll have a wonderful nightlight for the holiday season.

Welcome guests with a small tree in the guest room. Place a small tree in a corner of the kitchen counter, decorated with miniature kitchen items found in a toy store.
