It's that wonderful time of year again when I begin my planning for the holidays. While I have to admit I've 'dabbled' in some thoughts prior to this point - I never consider it 'legit' to think about the holiday season until November 1st. (It's just a 'me' thing)One of the most enjoyable parts of the holiday planning is thinking about the decorating scheme (or to some, it could be a 'theme') I'll use this season. I have a few ideas!
I'm leaning toward a 'natural' Christmas theme for living room/family room. I love the look of magnolia leaves mixed with seasonal greenery. I also love the look of the pomegranite, deliciously read and a natural accent to the green of the season. This wreath photo is my inspiration photo as I create the season in my home this year.
I also love the look of the magnolia garland draped over the mantel with the white candles. Very elegant. Last year, I found candles that look like pillar candles but are actually electric with 3 small LED lights inside that 'wave' and cast a light that replicates candle light. Much safer than actual candles! The photos used here are from Restoration Hardware - another of my shopping enjoyments!

Thank you for writing about the history of the candle in the window. My Mom always put candles(electric) in the windows at Christmas and it is a tradition that I kept. It always gives me a warm feeling when I see a candle in the window and I hope it gives others a warm feeling when they see mine each year.
