Your children can't wait for Christmas Eve to come so that they will get a visit from Santa Claus. They can't wait to wake up on Christmas day to see what gifts he brought them. Get them excited for that day by decorating your entire home in Santa decor this year. Young or old, Santa Claus represents Christmas in every way to us, and your children will love these Santa decorating ideas.

Santa Decorating Idea #1

This is a fun Christmas decorating idea for the entire family. You will need to buy at least two small rolls of Christmas gift wrap. Try and pick out a Santa design that you love that has a background to it for you are going to be displaying this gift wrap for everyone to see. You will also need to buy some big shimmery bows in gold or silver.

Now you will walk into your living room or family room and take down all hanging pictures from the walls. Have your children gift wrap the photo frames leaving it open where the hook is on the back of the frame. You will have them attach a bow in the center. You will hang these back on the wall making your very own presents. This Santa Christmas decoration idea adds a festive touch to your living room and makes for a great background for photos. You can also add ribbon to the packages if you wish.

Santa Decorating Idea #2

Another great Christmas decorating idea is to find an old Christmas card you received last year of Santa Claus if you have one. If you don't look online to see if you can find an old vintage Santa Claus postcard or greeting card. At the dollar store buy a 8x10 photo mat, and 8x10 photo frame. You will want to buy the photo mat in a color that will compliment the Santa Christmas card. You will mat the Christmas card in the frame and hang it on the wall. This Santa picture makes a lovely Christmas decor accent.

Santa Decorating Idea #3

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without popular Christmas songs. One of my favorite Santa Claus Christmas decorations I've seen this year is a Winter Lane Animated Santa and Mrs. Claus that you can buy at www.hsn.com
for $34.95. Santa is holding a lit candle and Mrs. Claus is holding Christmas gifts. They are standing on opposite sides of an antique lamppost. This Christmas decoration has motion lights and music. It plays the following Christmas songs:
Jingle Bells, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, Silent Night, Deck the Halls, Joy to the World, First Noel, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Oh Christmas Tree. Your children will love singing along with this Santa decoration and watching it light up with the music. It stand about two feet tall and would look lovely on the side of a fireplace or in front of the Christmas tree.

Santa Decorating Idea #4

I also like the Home Accents Musical Santa that you can buy from www.homedepot.com for $19.99. This Santa Christmas decoration is 2 feet tall and is motion activated. Santa's mouth moves and sings Here Comes Santa Claus. It would look really nice in front of an entrance way of your home. You can just imagine the photos you can get of your kids with this cute Santa Claus.

Santa Decorating Idea #5

Another great Santa decorating idea is to buy a blow up animated Santa for your front yard. You can find this also at Home Depot for $99.98. It is made by Gemmy and stands 4 1/2 feet tall. Santa is waving from his sleigh and it is pulled by one reindeer. You can buy a spotlight so that it can be seen at night. Your children will love seeing this everytime they pull into your driveway.

Enjoy the Holidays!
