Where to get holiday décor?
I buy from a few different places, including Hobby Lobby, Kirklands, E-favormart, Michael’s, At Home, Target, dollar stores and Etsy. I also shop via Instagram and advise anytime you are making purchases online, read all the reviews before finalizing your purchase.
Most importantly, save everything you purchase or your kids make for the years to come. You’ll be surprised at just how quickly your holiday collection grows! To find the best in local shopping and party and holiday planning, visit metrofamilymagazine.com/party-guide.
Through the kids’ eyes
Cheers to a festive holiday season! Editor’s note: Mecca is a wife and new mom to her first baby girl. She has been living and working in OKC for six years as a journalist for KOCO5 News. Mecca loves entertaining, especially for her family, with whom she is very close. Decorating and tablescaping spark her creativity, and she enjoys how it adds colorful joy to her home each season.
Don’t forget to get the kids involved as this process can be great fun for them. Of course they will enjoy the décor for whatever holidays you’ll be celebrating, but if they can help make or put up decorations, it will be that much more special for them. Let the kids choose a theme, create a tablescape or craft special additions to your holiday décor. Lastly, remember to enjoy your hard work together. Grab your favorite blanket, call the family in and enjoy time together amongst your creativity.
TAKE TIME TO ENJOY YOUR CREATIVITY AS A FAMILY.
