What's Your Holiday Vibe: Traditional

It’s that time of year again (some might say it’s the most wonderful time of year) to break out all things Christmas! Put up the Christmas tree, hang stockings over the mantle, change out the tabletop decor, and snuggle up on the couch with a warm hot chocolate in your favorite holiday mug.

No matter your style, we’ve got you covered with all things Christmas to get you in the holiday spirit.

If you’d like to incorporate your love for the great outdoors into the holiday spirit, consider a Northwoods Christmas vibe.

Or perhaps you want a Christmas centered in warmth with rich gold and metallic tones among deep reds and greens? Then seek out our Glitter Christmas vibe. But if you’re thinking colorful ornaments and lights with classic Christamas colors and themes throughout the home, you’ve come to the right place - a Traditional Christmas vibe!

Traditional Christmas

The Traditional Christmas is grounded in nostalgia for Christmases past and embraces classic themes. Decor includes pieces handed down through the generations and also select new pieces featuring reds, greens, and whites to resonate a classic feel. Elaborate decorative scenes featuring the North Pole, Santa’s workshop, or a gingerbread house might fill a mantle or side table. Homemade (and kid made) items are likely placed among classic Christmas decor throughout the home and are given a certain reverence for the feelings and memories they evoke. The traditional Christmas is timeless and unique to each home.

Traditional Christmas Tree

The tree is a great place to start decorating for the holidays and sets the tone for any theme. The traditional Christmas tree is realistic, adorned in colorful lights, and an assortment of ornaments from many walks of life. Traditional tree decorations include ornaments the kids made, ornaments picked up on vacations, or meaningful ornaments gifted from family and friends. A traditional tree will feature lots of red Christmas ornaments and classic themes throughout, such as red Santas and gnomes, red and green balls, and red candy canes. It may even have a red star tree topper and a red tree collar to complete the look. Traditional Christmas trees can be given an updated feel by incorporating texture, such as a red shag tree skirt.

Traditional Christmas Decorations

The traditional Christmas vibe is easy to sprinkle throughout the home. Adorn your mantle with classic garland featuring pine cones and red berries or ribbon. Supplement the look with homemade or vintage stockings that feature classic Christmas themes, such as Santa, snowmen, poinsettias, or Christmas trees. Revisit other areas of your home to add a bit of Christmas cheer. An artfully arranged Santa’s workshop looks great on a side table, a cheery gnome adds warmth to an entry area, and a Nutcracker brings Christmas to the kitchen! The dining room table, too, has room for Christmas with a red table runner and beautiful centerpiece featuring evergreens, frosted pinecones, and red ornaments. If adding new items to your home isn’t in the budget, consider how you can modify existing decor to resonate the holiday theme. Perhaps add some evergreen sprigs to an existing vase. Change out candles for some in red or green tones. Add a red ribbon or a bow to a basket. Even small changes create big holiday feels!

Embrace the holiday spirit this season with traditional vibes! Enjoy going down memory lane with ornaments from your past while having fun with Santas, snowmen, and gnomes in classic colors. Or try something new in our Northwoods, Shimmer, or Glitter vibes. No matter which theme you choose, you’ll be sure to feel the holiday cheer.
