No Decorating Blahs

Happy Halloween Everyone!

I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday and yet this year I just didn't decorate. I could say I didn't have the time, but actually I did. I could also say I didn't have the finances, which I didn't, but I have a lot of decorations from years past. So it was really just laziness and it's left me a little depressed.

In fact, I've already turned my attentions to Christmas decorating. I'm really looking forward to decorating this winter and I'm already thinking about rearranging my furniture to give the house a different feel, something cozier.

I don't think that holiday decorating is necessary, at least not for most people, but I do think that changing your home decorations or the basic scheme of things is important for everyone. The interior of every home gets stale and boring after a while and obviously large, sweeping changes on a regular basis are impractical but small changes such as a new furniture arrangement or adding a new color are very practical for everyone.

Your home should make you feel comfortable, welcome and happy and keeping everything static can drag down your spirits. If you aren't a holiday decorator consider redressing your home in another way, something fresh and exciting that will re-energize your spirits.
