Ree Drummond has said that enjoying her famous cinnamon rolls are among her top
reasons for loving the holiday, along with making Christmas dinner and buying
matching Christmas pajamas for her family. But that doesn't mean she don't get
excited—like, really excited—about all of the other fabulous aspects of the holiday
season too, like setting out her nutcrackers and trimming the tree with beautiful
Christmas tree decorations and DIY Christmas ornaments. (A Frasier Fir is Ree's
favorite type of Christmas tree.) If you also love going all out on making your home
merry and bright in December, you'll want to check out all the beautiful Christmas
decoration ideas ahead.
And to add even more holiday spirit to these decorations, guess what? They’re all DIY,
which means you can spend a blissful afternoon (or week, if you prefer) making
festive décor to your heart’s content. You'll find homespun stockings, delicate garland,
inventive wreathes, fun signs, and so many more homemade holiday decorations
ahead. So, grab your coziest blanket, craft supplies, and your Santa hat: It’s time for
an epic Christmas crafting session.
