By simply combining fresh chartreuse patterned bedding with a couple of raspberry pillows, and hanging up a simple boxwood wreath, a holiday feeling is implied without a Santa in sight. Remove the wreath after the holidays and in a flash, the holidays are over.
Gifts wrapped in simple chartreuse paper with the addition of red toile bands, feel festive even though there's nothing distinctively Christmas about them.
And this tablescape feels festive, even though no holiday-motif patterns are used. Again a simple boxwood wreath and Christmas tree add the holiday feel, but come January, ditch the tree and the wreath and this tablescape would work any time of year.
How do you decorate for the holidays? Simple festive touches to the everyday or all-out Santa theme?

I would like to do it more in a simple classic way...but family won't have it we are all out Santa in one room...Snowman in another...and simple in my kitchen!
I have to say this year I think my house feels the most festive it has ever been. I think it's the little touches here and there. Happy Monday Lisa!
I would love to be more simple, but with wee on'es we tend to be all out santa I'm afraid...maybe in a few years. Happy Monday!
Oh so pretty! I have always wanted to deck my whole house out and put trees in the bedrooms and wreaths over everything... one year!

Wow, what a pretty home. I don't think we'll be able to pull this look off for a while. Kids tend more towards santa hats and elves:)
So inspiring. thankyou!
Oh so pretty! This is the way I like to decorate. I like to use unexpected colors, and non- traditional wrap. Love your post!
Lovely! I like to decorate for the holidays coordinating with the colors in each room, that way all I need is a wreath and some ornaments to make it festive for Christmas!
So festive! You can see more of my own holiday decor on my blog today. I tend to keep it pretty classic and simple at my house, but can certainly appreciate when someone goes all out!
I'm all about the simplicity this year! A little festive here a little there... but it can all be down in a flash come January!
What beautiful spaces! I love that bedding in the first picture!
