Here in the U.S., most people start putting up their holiday trees the day after Thanksgiving toward the end of November. I am an individual who usually does it in December and always looking for new holiday decorations.
We all know how stressful it can be to create the perfect home for the holidays. The Michaels Holiday Shop will give you ideas to make your day less stressful.
Being from New York, one of the things that I missed is Macy’s creation of the, Yes, Virginia. There is a Santa Claus. I love how the set up the table for young children to write letters to Santa.
This year I wanted to create that image here in Louisiana. I was able to purchase two mailboxes and set them up for the local kids to write letters to Santa. Children today have so many things to worry about, that I just wanted them to have time to believe in magic.
The first mailbox that I selected was the 12″ Letters To Santa Mailbox Tabletop Accent by Ashland. I loved that this mailbox had the colors that I was using on my tablescape. The kids loved seeing with my other decorations and wondering what we were going to do with it. Again the mystery of the season, it holds over 12 letters.
The other mailbox that I selected was the Assorted Mailbox Tabletop Accent by Ashland®. I loved that this mailbox stands up. This allowed the children to drop their mail in an actual mailbox. I placed it by the door and had so many surprised faces when they saw it. It is also decorated with snow-covered pine trees and festive figurines to add to your holiday décor.
I always love how younger children get excited using an advent calendar to count down to Christmas. This year I was looking for a new way to do a count down. I found the Santa Countdown Tabletop Accent by Ashland® at Michaels and could not wait to get it home. This piece was perfect for our kitchen island so that every day the numbers could be easily changed. It also worked perfectly with our seasonal accents.
Growing up for Christmas one year I got a rocking horse. It was one of my all-time favorite gifts. I wanted to bring back a piece on my childhood so I had been hoping to find a rocking horse for my décor. I was lucky enough to find the Rocking Horse Tabletop Accent by Ashland®. This piece is perfect, it was surrounded by glossy ball ornaments, snow-covered pinecones and LED candles. Every time I look at it I think fondly of my childhood.
