In the family room you can hang ornaments on the blinds, hang tinsel by the doorways, add some gingerbread candles, and lights on the windows. Hang up some bows on the windows that will give it a great look.The colors for Christmas are red and green so try to stick with that. Some people love the color white only and that is fine.

Remember to hang them stockings by the tree. Add glitter to them by writing each child’s name on them. Get all the family members to decorate and pick out the tree seeing it is a family time. Each one in the family can hang ornaments, hang up the treetop, and or add the lights.
