Holiday Decorating ideas for your yard!
Pathway Lights
Outline Walkways with Pathway Lights: Pathway lights are a great idea for creating a bright welcoming path to the front door. Stakes hold light strings in place. Since light stakes range from 4.5 inches to 15 inches, take into consideration the weather in your area and plan accordingly. Yards with lots of snow will need the 15 inch stake, while areas without snow will only need the 4.5 inch size. Christmas Lights, Etc has created some pathway light kits with the most popular C7 and C9 bulbs, stringers, and stakes. Choose between LED or incandescent bulbs and clear or multicolor lights.
Walkway Trees: These small trees can add some extra sparkle to your yard decorations for Christmas and come in variety of sizes. For those with walkways and no natural hedges, place walkway trees along the sidewalk to complement staked lights. Take into consideration the rest of your yard’s colors and wrap the walkway trees with complementary lights. Multicolor lights look great on walkway trees and complement cool whites. Bright colors also work as great attention grabbers.
Hang Garland on Fences: Prelit garland works well to spruce up fences and gates. Purchase prelit garlands or wrap unlit ones with lights. For fences, use it in long lengths, allowing the garland to drape slightly in between posts. Add ribbon or other decor to coordinate with your overall yard decorating scheme. Mount matching prelit wreaths on posts, windows, or doors.
Drape Icicle Lights over Fences: Hang icicle lights along fences to convey a sense of falling snow. You can also drape garland lights or mini lights in a swag display to create an attractive border around the property.
Place Starlight Stakes along walkways: Another great way to light paths and driveways is with starlight stakes. These bright balls of light can be incandescent or LED and come in many eye popping colors. Their stakes are adjustable, so you can decide how high you want them.

Hang Snowflake and Star Motifs on Gates: Another Christmas yard decoration idea is to place glittering snowflakes or shining stars on your gates to welcome visitors to your home. You can also mount them to your house or hang them from trees to create a glittering scene. These bright motifs will draw attention to your yard.
