Invite a nutcracker to your home
Make a statement by inviting a large nutcracker to stand watch outside your front door. A 5 to 6-foot tall statue makes a charming first impression and will leave your guests (and kids) with special memories of the holidays.
Cover with cozy blankets
Throw plaid blankets over outdoor furniture and around a fire pit so you can gather in the fresh air and linger with a cup of hot chocolate for as long as possible.
