Getting into the festive holiday mood
Scented candles
(Last of two parts)
The Christmas trees have been lit, the streets have been lined with twinkling and dazzling lights and the spirit of the Yuletide season is upon us. It’s only 44 days until Christmas and for those of you still in a dilemma on how to spruce up your living spaces for the season, here are some ideas.
Accent pieces for tables
One adornment that is always associated with Christmas is the poinsettia. Liven up your tables and desks with this popular Christmas flower.
Did you know that the connection between poinsettias and Christmas comes from a Mexican legend? The story tells of a girl who, not having anything to offer at the church altar on Christmas Eve, resorted to arranging some weeds into a bouquet and presenting this to the altar’s Nativity scene. As soon as the girl placed her humble gift, the weeds turned into brilliant red flowers. From then on, poinsettias have become a staple Christmas ornament.
Fresh coat of paint
Perk up your home’s atmosphere this Christmas season and the approaching new year with a fresh coat of paint.
Whether you’re going for a bold and vibrant color scheme or a soothing and subtle look, Wilcon Depot’s Paint Section has a wide range of paints that you can choose from, and that includes brushes and other painting equipment.
Scented candles
Studies have shown that scents can have positive effects on one’s mood and well-being. Place scented candles all throughout the house for that nice, cheery smell that will surely bring about the Christmas spirit. Wilcon has a wide array of scented candles to fill your living spaces with the wonderful aromas of the season. Willow Lane, for instance, has Vanilla and Sugar Cane, Lemon Cake and Vanilla Swirl, Apple and Warm Caramel, and Sweet Cherries and Cinnamon.
Lights to set the mood
Lights set the mood in any place. Good lighting, in particular, is a necessity whether at home or in commercial places. The holiday season means adorning the house with all the twinkling Christmas lights that you can get your hands on. Invest in lights that are of good quality and energy efficient.
Bring Santa home
Another Christmas icon that always finds a space in our homes is good ol’ St. Nick. The true story of Santa Claus actually has religious roots. St. Nicholas was born to a wealthy family and decided to use his inheritance to help the less fortunate. He was known for his generosity, his love for children and had a reputation of giving secret gifts to people in need.
