With Christmas only just round the corner and everyone wanting to put a bit of extra effort in to their decs this year, you need to start planning now if you haven’t already. Although we have been in lockdown, many of the shops and garden centres that sell Christmas decorations and lights have been able to stay open. This means that people have already been making their purchases and there is not a massive selection left in many of the shops.

When it comes to your garden, it is nide to have some decorations that bring some festivity to the street. You may decide to go all out with inflatable Santas and moving LED light projectors or you may decide to simply put some lights up in the windows or icicle lights around the guttering on the outside of your home.

You do not have to spend a fortune on decorations to make it look nice and sometimes more is less if you want to try and go for a more classy look. Think carefully about what colours would compliment each other and ensure that you have adequate power from your garden to plug lights in.
