I love decorating for the holidays. Decorating makes the house feel cozy and loving, and a cheerful place to celebrate. Candles create a warm ambiance, but with the kiddos around, I hesitate to use candles in my decor. Instead, I’ve found new ways to bring that lovely ambiance to decorating without using candles. These cozy ideas will warm up your holiday decor!
Check them out in the slideshow.
