Staircase with Lights

For the past couple of years

I have thought about adding lights to my stair garlands

but then I get all caught up in the holiday craziness

and never buy the lights.

This year, the lights went up!

I can’t believe what a difference it makes in the foyer!

My house suddenly feels a hundred times more festive!

Foyer with stair garland and Christmas lights

 

I like to keep the foyer dimly lit

so all you see are these sparkly white lights

along with the glow from the nearby rooms.

My house just seems more welcoming!

Now I feel like having some guests over!

It will be nice to see the lights as we come down the stairs Christmas morning.

Let’s just hope the kids let us sleep and it won’t be this dark outside then!

Have you added any lights to your Christmas decor?
