Lodge Christmas Decorations
Sometimes you find the city life to be tough, too busy, dusty and a little too fast so that the simple joys of life are missed out in all the hustle and bustle. So you decide to get a lodge or maybe you already have one far away from the madding crowd where you want to spend a quiet Christmas will only your family around you. Now, being close to nature and away from plastic and concrete you will not want to have your lodge Christmas decorations to again remind you of the artificial life that is lived in a city. It is for this reason that lodge Christmas decorations are a little different from the normal decorations that you might indulge in within a city home.
Since lodges are usually nearer to nature and have all the colors of nature around, you will want to have the Christmas decorations too reflecting the natural beauty of trees, plants, rocks and sand. Thus, it would be a great idea to go in for some traditional rustic decoration of your lodge. Also, to a lot of people, decorating a lodge and spending Christmas there brings back happy memories of how they used to celebrate Christmas in a traditional manner back in their childhood. As such, many prefer to make their lodge Christmas decorations similar to how they were decorating their homes during Christmas when they were children. This too is a great idea. After all, the primary objective of a festival is to enjoy the company of near and dear ones and to also recollect sweet memories if bygone times and to make this time too a sweet memory for the future. So, if you plan to bring in a feel of your childhood, go right ahead.
When deciding on how to decorate your lodge, just remember that rustic and natural looking decoration is the best. A plastic wreath is a no-no. Get a green looking natural one. It might be a little heavier on your pocket but the overall effect it brings will be worth it. Just remember to think traditional and be a little classy with your selection. Materials like wood, green leaves, real snowflakes from a snow machine are great for the natural look. Some people even use Christmas cacti that add the special Christmas charm since they bloom only during the Christmas season.
The best part is that you need not always look at city stores for decorative items. Often you will have small country stores hidden away in some corner where you will find beautiful classy and traditional decorations that will suit your lodge beautifully. Just think different, think antique, think natural and have your lodge Christmas decorations accordingly.
