These luminaries will provide the perfect path to your front door and show that everyone is welcome.
Use Lots of Lights
Outdoor lights are a must for every Christmas decorations. You can go with smaller lights set up only on your porch and front door, but you can be brave and use lots of lights and even expand to the whole house. Put some decorations on your roof, porch, windows and balconies. This will give a special glow to your home and show off your spirit. However, before going big with the lights and decorations, make sure that you have cleaned and repaired everything so your roof could support the weight.
Decorate a Tree
A nice touch to your outdoor decorations is a Christmas tree. If you prefer, find a smaller tree and set it up right next to the door. Decorate it with a few ornaments that will not break in cold weather and add some ribbons for the end. Also, you can choose a real smaller tree, which will definitively look better especially if it has a few pinecones.
Don’t Forget the Patio

Drop Ornaments
To give your porch a festive look, tie up some ornaments with colorful ribbons and hang them from the ceiling. Adjust every ribbon to a different length to make things more fun. If you have a large deck, you can hang the drop ornaments from the railing and also decorate it with some lights.
Group Lanterns
If you think your porch looks dull and boring, to achieve a more dramatic effect you can group the lanterns together and light them up. Use lots of different colors for the lanterns or just pick one and stick to it. Blue and white combinations are the best if you want to achieve an elegant look, and red and orange will bring more warmth to your front porch.
Decorative Pots
