I’ve always loved the woodland Christmas theme. The homey feel of real pine and cedar gathered form the forest. It makes me think of simpler times where decorations were found and were made by hand. This Holiday season I want to embrace the simpler things in life. Slowing down and enjoying spending time with family and friends. The great thing about the woodland theme is that it works with decorations you probably already have. Most things for your tree or home can be gathered or simply homemade. The different colors found in the woods all work together cohesively. Add in some bows, in your favorite color of plaid and you will have a beautiful country woodland Christmas theme.
Here are some heartwarming ideas to bring the beauty of nature into your home for Christmas 2023. From charming tree decorations to cozy living room touches, lets make this holiday season truly magical! 🌲🎄✨
