Show people what is possible. Beauty is possible. Fun is possible. Creativity is possible. Laughing is possible. Live a little bit more.

The truth is, I don’t care if I sound like a hallmark card! Why? I LOVE CHRISTMAS, and we could all use a lot of cheer in our lives after the past few years. Phew!

Here are some incredible xmas ideas for 2022 with affordable shoppable items sent you fast.

Style your entryway to lift up your neighborhood
Style your front door like Anya Banks, The Christmas Decorator (see photo below). Think big and mix + match ornament styles for dimension and a striking look up close and far away, Use a frame to add volume and attach the wreaths to fill in the shape.
The holly jolly vibe works using the reverse concept of the broken window theory. While broken windows are thought to bring more crime and bad vibes, a styled entryway could work to bring happiness, playfulness, and fun back into your living space. You will inspire neighbors from afar, you’ll inspire yourself, and you’ll reconnect with the holiday fun you had before the crisis of the pandemic ever happened.

2. Get thematic with your ornaments

Minimalist or maximalist, pick a theme and commit to it. Then take it to 100% then take it to 200%.

When was the last time you let yourself get wild with decorating a christmas tree? It’s not about ‘standard’ it’s about expression… and if it looks off, just take something off or move things around. A simple practice in creative endeavors will really help reconnect you with your sense of self, style, and personal accomplishment… because you will surprise yourself with how much you’re capable of doing in this world.
