Walking in the streets and alleys, almost every store has hung Christmas-related decorations: Christmas trees full of gift boxes, Christmas stickers covering the walls, white-bearded grandfathers facing the front. Everything is announcing that Christmas is coming.
Friends and family members take this opportunity to get together. At a time when large and small gatherings are continuous, the decoration of public areas at home has become one of the most important things during the festival. Take time out from your busy life to make some simple accessories at home to add some small surprises to your ordinary life. Today, the fajiani team will take you to visit the homes of three home influencers to see what preparations and decorations they have made for Christmas.

"When I was a child, festivals meant delicious food to me. when I grew up, festivals meant family reunion. My parents are not around during normal times, but on important festivals, the whole family can get together to travel, eat, and go shopping. It is a time which is full of happiness, and it's worth it to be busy all year long."
As I grow older, I find that I prefer to stay at home alone. Having more time to do what I like is a rare way to relax, such as staying at home to watch movies, taking pictures, listening music, etc. During Christmas or New Year's Day, my lover and I will buy some festive decorations from the store and put them in various corners of the house. The dining table and bedroom are the places we focus on decorating.
Every festival has its own representative food, so the dining table is a microcosm of the festival. Choose some tableware and decorations related to the festival can increase the festive atmosphere and make family dinners more enjoyable. First of all, tablecloths and table runners are a must. A cedar strip is laid on the table runner, and some Christmas ball ornaments are decorated on it. In order to set off the festive atmosphere, a lot of red and white candles are also bought to correspond to Christmas colors.
Recommended products: Christmas stockings, Christmas wreaths, tablecloths, candles.

"Festivals are a kind of ritual for me, and also a good medicine to heal my life. The two most important festivals of the year for me are Christmas and New Year. New Year's Day allows me to reunite with my family and friends. The whole family sits together on New Year's Eve to welcome the new year and enjoy the beautiful snowflakes floating outside the window."
Christmas is at the end of the year, and everyone wants to have a happy ending to the year. During this festival, people will decorate their homes, put on decorations that match the festive atmosphere, and make some handmade gifts for important friends. Decorations must include snowflakes, elk, Christmas trees, gifts in socks, etc.
For indoor decoration, I will focus on the living room and workroom. The decorations for the living room will be items that are less damaging to the walls and floors and can be reused. For example, an artificial Christmas tree is beautiful and easy to preserve. It can be used again next year. Over time, an ordinary Christmas tree will become a meaningful item in life.
Recommended products: Handmade candles, sugar cookies, snowflake lighting.

"I am a mother of two children. Christmas is their happiest moment. They look forward to waking up to find gifts from Santa Claus in their bedside socks, to taking this opportunity to eat a sweet meal, and to the lively atmosphere of a home filled with Christmas trees, colorful lights, candles, garlands and other decorations."
Festivals give ordinary life a sense of ritual, allowing families to reunite and express gratitude and love to each other during the year, and also teach us how to enjoy life better. In addition to family reunions, decorating the living room is another way to enjoy the beautiful festival. Every Christmas, our living room will hang small accessories that highlight the Christmas atmosphere according to the scene, and the pillows on our sofa will also be changed to Christmas themes.
Pancakes are a must-have every year. Putting aside the busy daily work, the meal time becomes a warm moment for family gathering. Every knife and fork tells the little moments of the past year. With the scenery outside the window as a backdrop, the family sits around the dining table and eats with a smile, making a perfect family dinner.
Festivals give ordinary days a certain symbolic meaning. After a busy year, why not take this opportunity to give yourself some time to relax, tidy up the living room and room, give your daily living environment a new look, and welcome 2021 with a brand new look. Finally, don't forget to make a new wish for yourself on the day of the festival, let's make it come true together.
