When growing up in Poland the holiday season was celebrated a bit differently which was mostly lead by our Roman Catholic religion. The Christmas tree itself was actually put up the day of Christmas Eve, and Christmas Eve day was the most importantantly celebrated through- "Wigilia" which would be the Christmas Eve Supper and through it we celebrated the birth of baby Jesus. I will have another post about all my root traditions, all foods, history and other details- it's quite wonderful and filled with a lot of great family and Christmas spirit.
Today on the other hand I just wanted to share some great holiday decorating that might not only inspire you but add to your wonderful holiday spirit.
There are so many ways that you can decorate for the holidays- you can add decor to your mantle, add garland around the entry pediment, create beautiful festive centerpieces on the dining table and even decorate currently empty outdoor planters. Take a look at some of these fantastic inspirational images:
