Next up, you’ll need a tree skirt to wrap around the base of your Christmas tree. The skirt will also hold all your Christmas presents so it doesn’t have to be too fancy! Another benefit of having a tree skirt is that it will hold all the little pine needles that fall from your tree over the weeks! Tree skirts can also be baskets, galvanized buckets and other forms. You can get one to match the style of your home.

The tradition of hanging stockings on the fireplace mantel before Christmas is a tradition as old as time. I used to love waking up on Christmas day to find little goodies stuffed inside my stocking. Pick up a stocking for each member of your family and use stocking hooks to hang them in front of your fireplace. This is definitely a must-have traditional Christmas decoration!

If your house isn’t located in the North Pole, then why not add some fake snow to give a wintry feeling to your home? You could put fake snow on top of a console table and then add your Christmas village putz houses. Or you could just add fake snow around the Santa Claus figures, the nutcrackers, or any other little Christmas decoration you have. It’s a great way to create a vignette of Christmas decor!

Advent Calendar The Advent calendar is a fun way to count down the days remaining until the Christmas holiday. Most Advent calendars feature small doors that open to reveal an image, a Bible verse, or little gifts such as candy. The tradition can be traced back to the mid 19th century when German Protestants made chalk marks on doors or lit candles to signify each day that led to Christmas. You can find Advent calendars in many different forms, but the best ones are those that offer a small gift!

Another Christmas decoration that is necessary if you are the Christmas host this year is tableware! Everything from plates to napkins to serving platters to the christmas centerpiece can be found in a Christmas style.
