There are so many holiday lawn decorations available that it may be tough to figure out where to start. With a spark of creativity a family can turn their home into a winter wonderland.
And well-built displays will last for many years, which is why so many families continue to add-on to their collection every year, making it yet another tradition for a family to take part in. There’s also something for every budget and every home, from subtle, classic lighting designs, to larger-than-life pieces that will be sure to draw eyes from people driving by.
How can holiday lawn decorations make Christmas even better?
Though the end of the year is cold and dark, it’s also a time for celebration, and Christmas lights add some much needed festive cheer. Many families like to involve the kids when decorating, creating special memories that will last a lifetime. Stringing lights along the walkway and setting up a life-sized snow globe in the yard can add to the wonder of the holidays. Flanking the front door with noble nutcrackers and hanging a pre-lit wreath can tie the whole look together. Some even like to add a pre-lit Christmas tree to the front yard, complete with lit up packages symbolizing the anticipation of Christmas morning. Those that want to keep the traditional meaning of the holiday alive can add a nativity scene, complete with animals and a star above the manger lighting the way.
What are some popular holiday lawn decorations?
Every display needs lighting to reach its full potential. Without it, even the most impressive centerpiece will blend in to the dark, a sad fate for an intricate display that may include several impressive pieces. Fortunately, Christmas lighting is plentiful and comes in a number of varieties. Both mini lights and C9 lights are used in most outdoor displays, and both are made in nearly every color of the rainbow. Mini lights are often programmable as well, and can be set to race or produce light in special patterns, or respond to music.
Once the lighting is set up, a family can go about placing the larger parts of the display. Pre-lit garlands, hanging icicles, glittery snowflakes and outdoor ornaments, candy canes, Santa Claus, reindeer, and Christmas iconography like drums and presents are all popular options. For the family that wants to go all out, though, a life size nutcracker or toy solider can be the perfect way to get the neighbors talking. Large pieces like toy soldiers are made with high-quality materials and will withstand the brutal cold, ice, and snow.
With a beautiful display of holiday lawn decorations, a family can warm up the cold winter nights and make memories for years to come.
