Try Decorating the Backyard for the Holidays

How much time do you spend decorating the front yard for the holidays?

Then ask yourself - how much time do you get to enjoy it ? Chances are not much.

This year try something a little different. Decorate the backyard too.

This trend is increasing for obvious reasons. Homeowners get to enjoy the fruits of their labor all month long.

Designers say when decking out the backyard to keep in mind that less is more.

Flashing lights, brilliant colors and dancing elves may look great to drive up to but looking at them all night long might become a distraction.

Start slow and light up a couple of trees or try a couple of lighted animals. If you have a pool, that's a great place to start. A colorful fountain is inexpensive and very festive.

Maybe this will become a new tradition for you. One everyone in the family can enjoy.
