December is the best time to plan Christmas and start proper preparations! And although some people are now moving away from the typically traditional model of spending the holidays, there are elements that cannot be missing in any home! These certainly include the Christmas tree, gifts and Christmas dishes. In this article you will find our tips and inspiration for organizing a special Christmas at your home!

What can be done in advance? Christmas shopping and orders

Good organization and an action plan help prepare any undertaking. Therefore, it is worth planning in your head or writing down on a piece of paper what you need to prepare before the holidays. You can take care of some things well in advance to save yourself the stress at the last minute. Certainly, we can do some pre-Christmas shopping much earlier, e.g. gifts or decorative items, which are sometimes at lower, promotional prices outside the season.

Similarly if we want to order =>Christmas baking or other dishes for the Christmas table. The earlier, the better, because just before the holidays, suppliers will be busiest and it may turn out that they will not be able to fulfill more orders.

How to decorate your house for Christmas?

Christmas decorations and accessories bring a truly festive atmosphere to the interior. Of course, the basic element of the decor remains the Christmas tree, which is a symbol of Christmas and cannot be missing in any home. We can decorate it in various ways - choose a specific style, e.g. rustic, which fits into the arrangement of the entire apartment, choose decorations in specific colors, e.g. gold or red, or decorate the tree with handmade decorations, especially if there are children at home. 

What other decorations can we prepare apart from the Christmas tree? There are many possibilities, and the market also provides us with ready-made solutions. One of the most popular ideas are all kinds of lighting with Christmas motifs or classic lights, which are most often placed outside the house or in the windows. In addition, we can decorate the interior of the apartment with Christmas pendants, figurines, decorations or wreaths. It is worth remembering that we can make many of these accessories ourselves, which will give them a more original character and it is a great opportunity to spend creative time with our loved ones. To prepare decorations, often enough are items that we have at home or can easily find in the yard or during a walk in the park or forest. If we want to make wreaths and decorations, fresh coniferous twigs, pine cones, baubles, ribbons and candles will certainly come in handy. In addition, we can make Christmas tree decorations, stars, garlands or window hangings using paper and cardboard, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, jute string or colorful ribbons. And if we don't have our own ideas for decorations, we can find plenty of inspiration and ready-made solutions on the Internet.

How to decorate a Christmas table?

The table is the heart of the home, especially during Christmas. This is where we will spend time with our loved ones, share the Christmas wafer and try delicious Christmas dishes. Therefore, it is important to take care of its festive character. Traditionally, we cover the table with a white tablecloth and place hay under it. However, nowadays many people are moving away from this classic approach and are becoming supporters of more modern arrangements. In this case, we more often focus on colors when choosing napkins, table runners and even tablecloths. In addition, we add various Christmas decorations such as wreaths, coniferous twigs, candles and candlesticks, and Christmas figurines. It is important that the table decor constitutes a harmonious whole. Let's also remember to leave enough space on the counter for all the Christmas delicacies.
