USING NATURE TO MAKE CHRISTMAS FESTIVE

In the "olden days", people used natural products for the festive season. Now we head off to the craft store and buy our synthetic products or just buy ready made items. It is easy though to look around and use some items from nature.
Grape vines made into a wreath add texture.

Pinecones of course make the season cheery. Sometimes a bunch in a decorative bowl with a ribbon on top. A corsage! A wreath! Use in some garland! Christmas tree boughs bring a fragrance to the home.
Using new with the old blends the traditions of many generations.

How is your Christmas decorating going? Are you already sipping some eggnog by your tree?

    Marg used her decorating talents last night on our artificial tree. Looks great. Plus, miscellaneous other decorations around the living room. We're getting ready to have her family over for Christmas dinner. I guess I should take some photos. Yours look great!
