Many people love outdoor Christmas decorations with inflatable snowmen, candy canes lining the driveway, cartoon character yard signs, and a ridiculous amount of colorful Christmas lights. If you prefer more classic, classy, and understated Christmas outdoor decorations, here are a few ideas to give your yard a festive Christmas look without going overboard. Moderation is KeyDecorate your front yard in moderation for a sophisticated look. Do not try to win the prize for the most lights or decorations in your neighborhood. Understated that a small amout of classic Christmas decor is sophisticated. You should still decorate your yard to be festive and well-lit, however consider your front yard Christmas decorations to be an extension of your home's inside Christmas decorations. If you don't decorate with cartoon characters inside your home, then you probably shouldn't decorate with cartoon characters outside your home. White or Clear Lights OnlyOnly use small white lights in your outside Christmas display for elegant appeal. Multi-colored lights tend to look juvenile. Medium sized or really large lights also look less sophisticated unless viewed from a distance or mixed with lights of different sizes for a textural look. Do not use blinking or flashing Christmas lights, however a subtle twinkle is not too bad. Just a few strands of lights here and there are a very nice classic touch. Make sure to know the color temperature of your lights since some lights give off a warm or yellow light while others give off a cool or blue light. Try to stick to either warm or cool, but don't mix them else it can look weird. WreathsWreaths are a classic touch as long as they are not over done. Add a colorful bow to your wreath that ties into the overall color scheme of your Christmas yard decor. Red bows or red tartan bows are a classic Christmas favorite. Hanging a wreath on the door is a very traditional Christmas decoration, however also consider hanging a wreath on each of your windows or one large wreath at the peak of your home. You can use real fruit, pine cones, or flowers to decorate your wreath. If viewed from a distance, feel free to go with a very large wreath #ad to make it the focal point of your outdoor Christmas decor. Feel free to use either a fresh wreath or an artificial one. GreenerySurround your door with greenery for a classic Christmas display. The most popular greeneries to use during Christmas time are magnolia leaves, cypress, pine, eucalyptus, cedar, spruce, hemlock, and juniper. Live greenery works best to create an inviting fragrance and a classic look, however feel free to use high quality artificial greenery #ad if using a large quantity or if you are decorating for Christmas more than 2 weeks in advance. Another popular way to use greenery is to wrap columns with it or place it along the top of a fence. CandlesConsider adding candles or candle-looking battery powered lights to all of your window sills that face your front yard for a sophisticated look, or at least the upstairs window sills for a sophisticated look. The candles will light up the exterior of the whole house with a warm glow. You can also line your driveway with battery powered or solar candles in lanterns #ad for an elegant glow to your Christmas decorations. Make sure that all candles and lanterns are placed in a location where they will not get kicked, bumped, or knocked over. You Might Also Like

Christmas wreaths are a classic Christmas decoration that is familiar to most everyone. Many people are happy with just a simple evergreen wreath with a red bow. Instead of a traditional wreath that everyone has seen before, consider these unique Christmas wreath ideas. Different ColorYour Christmas wreath does not have to be red and green. Consider using a non-traditional color, such as turquoise, silver, gold, or purple. You can even use a rainbow of colors. Photo by - Browse home design photos Different MaterialMost traditional wreaths are made out of evergreen branches. Consider creating your wreath out of a different material for a unique Christmas display. You can make your wreath out of candy, bells, fabric, feathers, candy canes, toys, spheres, wine corks, ornaments, sea shells, paper, fruit, pine cones, flowers, or whatever you wish. Photo by - Search entryway design ideas Focal PointConsider adding a focal point element to your Christmas tree. You can add a large bow, a crown on top of your wreath, an angel, a huge jingle bell, a Santa Claus, or a decorative element to the center of your wreath. Another option is to leave your Christmas wreath simply decorated on 3/4 and decorate 1/4 of the wreath to be the focal point. Photo by Twoinspireyou - More home design ideas ShapeMost Christmas wreaths are in a circle shape, however you can have a wreath in a half circle, heart, square, or star shape. Photo by Twoinspireyou - Look for home design design inspiration TextureThe most beautiful Christmas wreaths are usually decorated with elements that are very textural to add interest. If you are using items without much texture, such as shiny smooth ornaments, use ornaments of different sizes and slightly different colors in order to create a textural feel.

For the first time since January 2014, we woke up this morning to a blanket of snow covering the whole world. And it was our next to last reveal day. And it was magical. With tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches for supper, it was the perfect snow day. Even if it didn’t happen on the 25th, it’s the closest we’ve ever had. I’m calling it our first white Christmas ever.
