BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – If you’re in charge of hosting this year’s event, you may think you don’t have the time and the money to give your home a new look.

Before you dash out to the craft store or trim-a-tree shop, pay a visit to the attic or storage room. Memories fade from year to year, so refresh yours with a quick inventory of the holiday decorations you already have on hand. Keep them in mind as you read Christmas magazines or check out the Festival of Trees displays. (Image for SpaceCoastDaily.com)

The holidays are that special time of year when we reunite with our family and friends and in some cases we may not have seen these loved ones since the previous holiday.

Nothing says “Christmas!” like a beautifully decorated home. Fragrant greens, twinkling lights, holiday centerpieces all set the stage for a merry holiday season. But at what cost?

String them across your mantel, twist them around a chandelier, or even add some sparkle to your bedroom and bath.
