For years we decorated not only the inside of our homes, but we would put up Christmas lights and boughs of evergreens on our porch with the Most Beautiful Wreath on our front door! These sights would greet all our friends and family as they came for visits over the holidays and we had lots of visitors!
Today, I would not ask my other half to get up on a ladder to attach lights to our gutters, even though he did this for years. Decorating outdoors has become much easier! Thank goodness for the ability to share ideas on Pinterest and other social media as well. If you have the time, these ideas are all very doable and need not cost an arm and a leg.
The larger the inflatable, the more expensive they become. Don't be discouraged, these inflatables can start at very affordable prices and make a big impact! Santas and snowmen, trains and sleighs, polar bears and penguins are all very popular motifs for the holidays. Many of them will come in several different sizes, ready to fit your decor ideas.

Inflatables are a lot of fun, easy to install and enjoy. Again the choices are many and varied. Some of these inflatables are animated as well. That just adds another whole dimension of enjoyment. The biggest problem (I hate to admit there might be one) is that someone may be tempted to steal it from your front lawn. This is easy to remedy with a little forethought and a handyman or woman. All you need to do is get a few metal tent pegs and a couple of holes drilled in the base of your inflatable. Hammer the stakes into the ground and your worries are over.The children and the adults as well will enjoy the sights that you have so thoughtfully prepared for the Holidays. I'm sure more than one person will stop to admire your handiwork! The best part, you didn't have to get up on a ladder and worry about falling off!
Christmas home decor is one of the fun parts of getting ready for the best holiday of the year. Take a little time and let the whole world know that you still believe in the Magic of Christmas!
