Plafining � dor Outdoor Decorations The snow has come, the shops are -ablaze with light, there's that certain feeling in the air - Christmas! And it's time to think about decorating your home, inside and out, to express the festive season in your, own particular way. Creating a col- orful scene in 'Christmas lights is not• only easy, it is plenty of fun, too, because you can be as creative as your heart de- sires, and. your pocketbook lets you. Using strings of the new Christmas lights, with flood and spotlights, your home, lawn and shrubbery can take on the air of fairyland, lending a spirit of good cheer to the entire neigh:, borhood. • There are several rules that make it easy: first, decide what general "theme" to use. 11 you want to appeal to children, then your whole outdoor decorative project should be plagned ac- cordingly. Or if you prefer to dramatize the religious aspect of Christmas, many beautiful and moving scenes can be cre- ated. But whatever you do, stay with one theme only. It is a mistake to mix them up as it only serves .to confuse passers- by. Secondly, make a detailed plan of what you would like to do before you • start, including colors of lights -to be used, and where they will be placed. • This should be done carefully so as to make it gay, but not gaudy. The secret is to choose your colors wisely; and with some regard for the colors of the walls, trim and roof of your house. Start by looking at your home as passersby might see it. Con- sider the size of your home, its lot, the roof, chimney, shrub- bery and architectural details, especially around the doorway and front porch. Then decide which color lights.. would look best in the arrangement you prefer on your home. When you visit your • store for Christmas lights, be sure to select the best colors for outdoor decorating. This year, for the first time, you can purchase an outdoor string and socket set packaged separately, and then select the lights in the color of your choice to fit the' sockets, Decorate your front door with a quantity of evergreen boughs tacked to the door frame, en- twined with strings of colored lights. Lights may' be strung= about the pillars of the porch or tacked directly to the frame of the doorway, using either a Va- riety of colors or one color on- ly. To finally set off the door- way, which is the focal point of Christmas hospitality, train a colored- spotlight on it. (This is also -effective for the man of the house coming home after the office party, or some such ple.asantry). One of the simplest ways. to decorate your home, if you have picture windows, is from the inside. Strings of lights of the outdoor type can be used to outline'the window. Then place your tree near the window where outsiders can catch a glimpse of it too. One of the simplest and ,most inexpensive window decorations is a candle and a bulb within a wreath, a single electric candle on the windowsills, or a candelabra of several graduated candles. Tall flowing candles can be made of stovepipe, mailing tubes, or cut out of plywood, and painted ap• propriately. These can be plac- ed at each side of the front DUBLIN door to welcome guests with a hospitality show. ' It is important to dramatize the theme you have 'chosen. The focal point usually needs strong illumination -and can be empha- sized by.-pontrasting colors of lights, style or size in relation to the other elements. It is im- portant that the focal point im- mediately attract attention and that all other parts of the dis- play be subordinated to it. This can be done by making sure that it is brightly illuminated, while the remainder is subdued. Don't forget to use floodlanips to give the final touch to your home decorating outdoors. This helps to tie the whole project together by supplying the dif- fused light over the entire area. However, unity can also be ob- tained by stringing lamps into lines or paths of light which help to tie segments together, Try also to eliminate glare, sharp unwanted contrasts, and. hazardous shadows. Remember, it is what you do with what you have, not how much material you have, that will spell the difference be- tween an attractive, - pleasant display and a rather gaudy show. It is a wonderful chance to .try your artistry, originality, ingenuity' and creative ability. A few safety rules: Be sure all cords, plugs, sockets and all bulbs used outdoors are wea- ther proof and manufactured for outdoor use; Keep all elec- trical connections off the ground and, for greater safety, weath- erproof .all outside connections with electrical tape. Be sure the,power is off when string- ing' the wire around the house, and do not have the bulbs in sockets. It is not necessary to nail wire to the .eaves of the house. Try a stapling machine, mak- ing sure that the staples go around the wire and not through it. The job is done much faster this way • and the wire is much more easily re - °moved. • Look for Christmas light string and socket sets with the sockets made entirely of plastic, complete with a plastic clip for easier placing on trees. These are new this year, and safer too. With only a few safety pre- cautions, you can have a. won- derful time decorating your home for the coming Christmas season, transforming • it into a Christmas card scene • `Messrs.
