For a more Christmasy mood try placing decorated Christmas trees of all different sizes and colors through out your home.

Wrap extra rolls of toilet paper in red, green or Christmas print tissue paper for a cute touch in the bathroom.

You could nestle a candle in peppermints, nuts, or even sand. Try grouping several together for a dramatic effect.

Take down your pictures and wrap them like gifts, then hang them back on the wall for great holiday display!

Gather up some pine cones and display them in a basket. You can spray potpourri oil on them. Another great idea is to dab a bit of glue on each "point" of the cone and then sprinkle with glitter.

Use Christmas fabrics to create table runners, throw blankets, tablecloths, and throw pillows that coordinate with your Christmas decorations.

Glue last years Christmas card fronts on a matboard using spray adhesive or tacky glue and hang as holiday artwork collage.

Take red, white and green bath towels and stack three different sizes, then tie with a coordinating ribbon for a wrapped package in the bath room. Very cute!

Take your throw pillows and tie them with holiday colored ribbons either once around the middle or like a Christmas gift.

Use holiday-colored ribbon and pin or glue it around the bottom of your lamp shade.

Gather branches outside. Spray-paint them in a silver, gold, red or green then put them in a vase. Stylish, yet simple.

Take a hanging picture frame and simply frame some pretty holiday paper as artwork, or maybe a nice greeting card, it's ready to hang!

Stud oranges with cloves and arrange in a dish or basket with some greenery. Smells fantastic and looks great.

Use small bundles of ribbon-tied cinnamon sticks as tree decorations and scattered throughout the house. Another smells great, looks great idea.

Get red and green coloured gravel (available at most pet supply shops for aquarium use) and half a dozen small, wide mouthed jam jars. Put about an inch of the gravel in the bottom of the jar and plant a small, fat candle in the middle. Light, enjoy!
