Non-"Christmassy" Winter Decorations
Foyer of our former home in Antioch, CA Winter of 2004 (L). Below are photos from 2008 taken in our current home.
Unlike many people in America and other parts of the world, we do not celebrate Christmas. Our religion forbids it. However, I do love to decorate in different seasonal themes. My favorite season may be fall, but when it comes to home decorations, I love decorating for the winter, too. So, how does one decorate for the winter without putting "Christmassy" stuff on? My husband wrote on eHow.com an article two winters ago-- in 2008, entitled, "How to Decorate for Winter if You do not Celebrate Christmas."
Many commented that the tips and photos he shared work well even if you celebrate Christmas, but want to tone down on the Christmas items such as Santa Clause, Christmas tree, reindeer and Christmas stockings. The photos he included were all from this house. I have been wanting to post it here for quite some time now, but I had been too busy lately. I thought of posting them here again in hopes of inspiring others who do not celebrate Christmas or those who do not want the usual red-and-green Christmas decorations.
