Christmas Decorations for Your Mailbox
Almost as much as an evergreen Christmas tree decorated with twinkling lights, Christmas stockings hung by the chimney with care, and your best turkey recipe sizzling in the oven, mailboxes are a symbol of Christmas. After all, little ones sending off letters to Santa Claus is one of the most tried-and-true Christmas traditions. Who doesn't have memories of writing to the jolly man in the red suit, asking politely (if super urgently...let's be honest) for games and toys?
In fact, boxes that purport to send messages special delivery straight to the North Pole make adorable Yuletide decor, whether or not kiddies actually drop letters to St. Nick into them. And speaking of mailboxes, when you're decorating your home for the holidays, don't forget to jazz up the one in front of your house. It's easy to overlook it, but adding Christmas ornamentation to you mailbox—be it a simple scarf and a few sprigs of greenery, or an elaborate swag of Christmas garland Mrs. Claus would be be proud to call her own—completes your outdoor decor beautifully.
