Tis' the season of spiked eggnog and awkward family get-togethers where your grandma keeps mistaking your cat for one of her grandchildren. The season of running out last minute on Christmas Eve, determined to get your Dad the best gift ever and coming back with... socks. Again. The holiday season can be hectic and stressful, but you can't lose sight of the best part. No, not love, peace and good tidings, but totally overdoing your house with awesome figurines and ornaments! We're talking fake snow over every surface, an elaborate village of those awesome collectible houses, and about twenty snowmen. Per room.
General Winter Figurines and Ornaments
* Snowmen are a great seasonal decoration. You can get figurines big and small, and made out of all sorts of materials. Keep some on the window sill so everyone can see your festiveness!
* Use statues as a centerpiece for the dining room table to add a little winter spirit to your meals.
* Big on nature? There's plenty of beautiful figurines of winter scenes.
* Wreaths on the front door or anywhere on your walls is a fun, festive idea. You can get wreaths made out of real pine, or fake ones that you can reuse again and again every year.
* A sleigh figurine will surely get you in the spirit! Place chocolates on it for a sweet offering to any guests, or just for yourself.
* A snow village is a great display that can be added to every year! My mother had one and every year bought a new building to add. There's tons of choices from homes to businesses, to even lighthouses or a fishing hole!
Holiday and Religious
* Nativity sets are a popular choice. They are often made of genuine wood but can be made of other materials.
* Angels are a wonderful option for decorating your home. There are designs with winter scenes in the wings or skirts.
* Celebrate Christmas with a Santa Claus figurine. Wooden carved statues are popular. Each culture has different styles and versions of Santa, and picking up different kinds can make your house more dynamic. And don't forget the reindeer!
* Christmas trees are also a great decoration, whether you get a mini tree for a table or statues and figurines of trees. Add a little cheer to the kitchen or even the bathroom with one!
