Mountain Modern Life

It sort of comes naturally to American's for their love of the holiday seasons. So much time is spent decorating, shopping and even crafting for around the home and for close ones. If you enjoy the holidays and like to keep your spirits up throughout the stressful, yet cheerful months you need to invest in some of these DIYs for your home.

1) Decorative candles

These are for around the whole house as accents. Just something nice to look at though out the house with a holiday spin. You can choose what to put in the water and you can even add burlap rope or a bow for the outside!

2) Stuffed jars for centerpieces or accents

These are for centerpieces or for side tables and even for a window sill. You can stuff the jars with ornaments, bows, Christmas candies and even fake snow!

3) Decorative Christmas trees (yes, besides your big one)

These are for the mantle or other little places like corner shelves and what not. They're good for that area that just needs something when you're sitting there staring at an empty space.

4) Adorable signs with Christmas sayings or symbols.

You can use these for shelf decor or even replacing an old picture frame for the season. You can keep them PG depending on your household or spice it up and make it funny.

5) Personalized Christmas ornaments

These can really show your tree off with your own style. You can pick one theme or make a bunch of different ones and have fun with it. These are the ones you like to show off when company comes over.

6) Simple and sweet door wreaths

This isn't too much but also isn't too little. You may not have enough room for a huge wreath or just don't have the patience for more detail. You can also form other words!

7) A Christmas countdown chalkboard

Everyone needs this just to remind themselves how much close they are to having off of work, being out of school and being around their loved ones. You can jazz it up as much as you want and on whatever you want too because chalkboard paint is easy to put on anything.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
