Top Pre Lit Christmas Trees for a Festive Holiday Season!
As you could say, there’s more to a nice-looking home at Christmas than the presence of a pre lit Christmas tree alone. In addition to adding to the beauty of the house, decorating the other parts of the house adds more spice to the pre lit Christmas tree. Decorating the fireplace and mantlepiece are great places to begin. Hearths and mantelpieces have served as gathering places and centerpieces for families for countless generations. A mantel was originally created to enhance the function of a fireplace as it provided space to organize the fire’s burn, but over the centuries it has become a decorative element of the home. It showcases the tastes and style of those who dwell within.
The mantel on your home might serve as an area to display family photos, precious objects, and decorative items during the year, but at Christmas, it becomes a stage on which Christmas magic unfolds. The following are wonderful ways to make good use of the mantle and fireplace during Christmas.
Christmas Card Display
Using the mantel as a display option for Christmas cards from loved ones is cozy and comforting. It may even be a better choice than placing cards by a pre lit Christmas tree. In addition to standing up on top of the mantel, cards can also be hung over decorative ribbons that encircle the fireplace. If your fireplace will be in use, make sure you place the decorative cards at a safe distance from any open flame to avoid any injuries.
Christmas Garland and Wreaths
The classic way to decorate the hearth for Christmas is by draping a garland across the mantel and hanging a wreath just above. You can decorate the holiday greenery by leaving it bare or add red bows or ornaments to match the decorations on your pre lit Christmas tree.
Ensure that the plug located closest to the mantel of a lit wreath above your mantel is placed at the bottom of the wreath. Choose an extension cord that matches the color of your mantel and your wall. Additionally, you can easily avoid light cords by using battery operated lights on an unlit wreath. A coordinated Christmas mantel display can also be achieved with pre-decorated garland and wreaths.
