We're a little behind in our holiday decorating. With so much going on in the month of December, it can be hard to find time to put up a tree, string lights, and prepare your home for the season. If, like us, you're looking for fast and cheap ways to decorate click below...
Food makes a cheap and easy centerpiece. Fill a vase with cranberries, or place some springs of holly in between a bowl of oranges, and you're all set. (Photo: Pottery Barn.)
Candlelight instantly dresses up a room. For a fast centerpiece, arrange a set of candlesticks and tealights on a tray or cake stand. In this photo from Living Etc., muffin cups are used as votives.
Greenery with red or white flowers is a classic holiday decoration. For three ways to use white carnations for holiday arrangements, click here.
It only takes a second to fill a bowl with ornaments, or place a few glass globes on a mantelpiece or sideboard.

What is UP with the freakin antlers? West Elm especially is obsessed with them. Who puts antlers on their furniture?

Nothing says style like pieces of dead animals, eeka.

Noe: you'll be glad to know that the antlers probably aren't from dead animals, deer slough them every year, that's how I got mine (from the safari park where I used to work)!

not only are antlers stylish and seasonal, they also possess wonderful nutritional properties. try shaving some into your hot chocolate or grind a few teaspoons into your eggnog

Seriously, I don't get the antlers thing either. Put a fork in this trend; it's done.

Hey guys. Decorating is never late. Check out, for example, easy to make christmas decorations. If you haven't done some yet, you definitely should now.

The muffin cups looks great, but wouldn't they catch on fire?
