Outdoor Christmas decorating can start with a wreath, greenery, bells, or a bold bow at the front door, then extend through windows, gates, fences, walkways, and the yard with candy-cane lights, painted ornaments, signs, or a full sleigh-and-reindeer scene. Smaller arrangements and larger displays alike can be scaled to the space while keeping steps, gates, […]
