Creating new traditions for Christmas decoration themes can bring new excitement into a yearly task. Each year you open the stored boxes, take out the same old red and green ornaments, and garlands, and tree skirts, and why not bring fresh new colors and creativity into the home this year? Now is the time to change the past traditions, and incorporate a few new ones, still keeping the spirit of Christmas, but adding new liveliness to your home.

If you live in a large city surrounded by concrete, fake trees, and brilliant lights, perhaps a dream theme would be a cozy Country Christmas. If living in the country has you dreaming of urban brilliance and sophistication, then a modern, eclectic theme would fit the bill. Using a favorite collection as a theme is also a good idea. If you have spent years collecting those beautiful dolls, why not create a Christmas theme around them?

Creating a Cozy Country Christmas Theme

Creating the correct atmosphere for a themed Christmas is not difficult with a few accessories added in; a room can take on a new life of its own. For a cozy country Christmas, a large natural fiber area rug can be used to choose the color palette for your room. Many of the wool Flotaki rugs are brilliantly colored and perfectly suited for a country theme. Using the colors you prefer you can choose an old quilt to place over the back of the sofa, bring in a wreath filled with autumn colors, and add fresh green garland around the room.

Of course a real tree is best for Christmas in the country, but artificial ones can be scented and most of the quality ones are as beautiful as the real ones. Ornaments need to be of natural fibers, and simple in style, using small snowflakes and tiny lights can a touch of the outside on the inside.

Other touches of realism can be brought in as well. Fill small baskets with pinecones and fresh smelling potpourri and the scents of the country will be yours. Placing an oval rug in front of a rocking chair is the perfect place for family photos; you can choose rugs of muted red, or even a single braided oval rug, to provide a space for a small sleigh filled with small gaily wrapped presents. Using solid white candles placed around the room can add a touch of the country and bring warmth and soft light to a family gathering, bring out the cocoa and popcorn and watch a few old movies like Miracle on 34th Street.

There are a variety of carved wooden elements that can add country charm to a room for a country Christmas theme. A wooden rocking horse, carved wooden bowls to hold a gathering of colorful and small wooden ornaments would be a wonderful way to display antique Christmas ornaments. Bring the children in and have them create hand-made ornaments and place them on the tree, kids love Christmas and will be thrilled to sit around on a red rug and make ornaments that will hold a special position on the Christmas tree.

Creating new Christmas decorating themes is only by your creativity and your desire to have your personal touch reflected throughout the home. Give it a whirl; you might be surprised to fin that new traditions can become family traditions.
