Light up Country Christmas

There's something especially magical about the understated beauty of December in the countryside. Here is one way to light up country Christmas.


1. Add a touch of green year-round by installing forest green lamps on the exterior of your home or barn.

2. Add leaves to the eaves. Outfit a drape of greenery with lights, ornaments, or berries.

3. Hang an all-weather wreath. Why stop at the door? Upgrade a halo of Scotch pine and fir with LED lights and hardy ornaments.

4. Use what you've got. Stash plain planters, pots, and pails with birch logs and tiny pine trees bedecked with pinecones.
