Christmas Yard Decorations

Welcome to Christmas Yard Decorations, where you’ll find the very latest in outdoor Xmas decor.  From Christmas inflatables to LED string lighting, we’ve got you covered.

Are you getting ready to start  decorating for the holidays?  I know my family is.  And especially after a year like this, I’m really looking forward to a little holiday cheer….and it won’t be long now!

Outdoor holiday decoration have sure come a long way since when we were kids.  In fact, this year your display might even include solar powered tree lights, life-sized LED Christmas scenes, and even holographic and 3-D yard art!  It’s really never been easier to find a fantastic variety of outdoor Christmas yard decor to fit every style, theme, and budget.

Here’s a  look at what’s new this year in outdoor Xmas decor:

HOLIDAY YARD ART:  Want to have your neighbors driving by your home just to admire your holiday decorations?  Are you looking for the easiest way to make a bold statement in your front yard this Christmas?    Are you bored with the “same old display”?  Holiday themed yard art is the biggest bang for your buck in the world of outdoor Christmas decorations.  There is also an amazing variety of Christmas yard decor available today, and it’s actually very easy to find the perfect piece of yard art to fit your style and budget.  So put away that tangled ball of string lighting and have some fun this year (and get noticed by your neighbors!) with a beautiful piece of Christmas yard art.

INFLATABLE DISPLAYS:  Tie these down, fire up the motorized fan, and watch your kids’ eyes light up when they see an 8-foot inflatable Santa waving to the neighborhood from your front yard.  But this year you’ll find much more than just Santa popping up in your neighborhood  — In fact, you’re likely to find Homer Simpson, Charlie Brown, Spongebob Squarepants, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo…and many of other huge inflatable characters that will put a smile on even the Grinch’s face this season.  This is another type of decoration that simply was not available until about ten years ago…and they are truly amazing.  Windblown inflatables are a breeze to set up in your yard as well:  simply set up the stand, stake it to the ground, plug it in and you are good to go!

LIFESIZE ANIMAL DIPLAYS:    Animal displays are perfect choice for a secular yard display, and they celebrate the beauty of the natural world around us.  Imagine a beautiful lighted  menagerie of life-sized reindeer, horses, penguins, swans, lions, and bears displayed in your front lawn this holiday!  Many animal displays today actually  feature thousands of energy efficient LED lights, which make these the “greenest” decorations you will find anywhere.  You will actually find hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of individual LED lights on each one of these hand-crafted life sized decorations, making them not only one of the most beautiful, but brilliant choices this year for the holidays.

STRING LIGHTS:   String lights are the most classic holiday decorations around…Remember your Dad checking all the bulbs on a string to find the one that needed to be replaced?  Today string lighting is available in dozens of colors and hundred of shapes and styles, and you can often the color of the string as well to make it “disappear” when installed on trees, gutters, window frames, etc.    Also, consider replacing some of your old halogen string lights with energy efficient LED string lighting this years…you will never again spend 20 minutes trying to figure out which bulb is burnt out. Also, LED lighting is much brighter than standard string lighting, and will pay for itself in energy savings within a couple of seasons.

ICICLE LIGHTS:  Pull that ladder out of the garage, because it’s time to hang the icicle lights!  String these beauties along a roofline, railing, or front porch, and watch your house “pop”!  This is the Christmas display that separates the men from the boys…Not as easy to install as some other yard decorations, but what a statement — and provides to your house instant curb appeal as well.  You will find icicle lights in many different colors and styles to match any holiday theme or color scheme, and this year they are even available as LED lights.  Please remember to be safe when installing your icicle light display this Christmas…Be sure to use a sturdy ladder rated appropriately for the job, and if using an extension ladder watch out for power lines attached to your house!

WREATHS AND BOWS:  Wreaths are probably the oldest and most traditional of all Christmas decorations, symbolizing new life, strength, and hospitality.  These were first made of evergreens and hung with lighted candles to symbolize the idea that life survives even in the coldest of winters.  A traditional Christmas wreath hung on your front door will make your home look beautiful and welcoming to all of your holiday guests this season.  And when you hang a beautiful wreath on your front door in combination with a Christmas bow, you will be rewarded with many compliments this holiday season.  If you don’t get a natural wreath made out of evergreen branches, you might consider an artificial wreath that will last for many years to come…a decoration that is both economical and beautiful at the same time.

NET LIGHTS:  Net lights are one of those things that will make you wonder how you ever lived without them before. It may seem like these popular Christmas lights have been around forever, but in fact they are a recent addition to the outdoor Christmas decoration arsenal.  These lights are actually one of the easiest yard decorations to install at your house, making them a perfect choice.  As is the case with string lighting, today you can find an amazing variety and choices in net lighting that will help you customize the look and style of your holiday display to match your vision.   They are easy to install over bushes and shrubs — even wrap them around the trucks of trees! — and they will provide instant appeal to your home during the holiday season for years to come.

At our house the holiday season starts on a Saturday morning in mid-November:  you’ll find me in my garage, testing the colorful strings of lights, checking the extension cords, and unpacking a the large boxes of yard decorations.  And then it’s installation time: hanging icicle lights from a ladder off the front porch, stringing the trees in the yard with white lights, hanging a wreath on the front door, covering the bushes with colorful net lighting, and setting up the cheerful Santa display on the lawn.

If you’re ready to make your front yard look like the North Pole this year, then more power to ya!  If you’re overwhelmed by the huge variety of inflatable and free-standing Christmas lawn decorations to choose from, it’s often useful to pick a theme first:  Santa Clause, the Nativity, holiday characters, toy soldiers, gingerbread cookies, reindeer, candy canes, snowmen, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa…and the list goes on and on.

Hundreds of feet of extension cords later, as the sun is setting low in the sky, the moment of truth arrives —  Plug it in and fire it up!  It’s magic time, and the kids will gather in the front yard to watch as the front lawn is transformed into a Winter Wonderland.  Afterwords, head inside for a cup of hot chocolate and look outside to admire your work.

Remember, it’s never too early to start thinking about what next year’s Christmas yard decor will look like.  One idea to keep your outdoor holiday display fresh and new is to do what my neighbor does:  He has three complete Christmas display “themes” good to go, and he rotates a different package every year.  While this may seem a bit extreme and excessive (personally I think my neighbor is a little nutty, but please don’t tell him I said so!), one way to go that is both practical and affordable is to simply add a new outdoor Christmas decoration every year.  This could be something big and flashy that makes a statement like a Christmas inflatable or any other type of inflatable decoration.  On the other hand, you could easily add something more subtle to your Xmas display that that maybe only you will know has been added…like a Xmas tree star to top that beautiful evergreen in your front yard.  Remember, you are only limited by your imagination when it comes to terrific new outdoor holiday decorating ideas, and they don’t have to be big and expensive Christmas holiday decoration to get noticed.
