The holidays are our favorite time of year. Who can resist all the good cheer, the delicious food, the beautiful decorations? Uh-oh, decorations? Oops, that part sometimes falls through the cracks. The decorations are often the best part of Christmastime, but what happens when the season sneaks up on you and you don’t have any decorations? Or, all your money was spent on buying gifts? Not all of us have DIY and creativity running through our veins, but there’s no need to fret! With these simple holiday hacks, you’ll be celebrating the season in style this year.

Light Up the Season
The holiday season is also right around the longest night of the year. With the nights so long and cold, it’s no wonder that all the December holidays revolve around light! Light resembles warmth, hope, and the reappearance of the sun. After so long in darkness, light is practically a spiritual thing for many people.

Aside from all that, it’s just so pretty to look at! One way to step up your lighting game is to mix and match light strings on the tree. Instead of wrapping only standard-sized Christmas tree lights around your tree, add in some different-sized bulbs. The variety of light sizes will really dazzle friends and family!
