The holidays are upon us, and with them comes the winter solstice – the darkest days of the year.
As we enter the long nights that characterize the Water element (here in the northern hemisphere) it’s important to maintain a sense of balance and hope with bright reminders of Fire energy around your home.
Here are a few Feng Shui holiday decorating ideas that bring the Fire element into your life as you await the time when lighter days return.
1. Outside your home, here’s a lovely and simple way to warmly welcome friends and family during the dark nights of the season.
Simple bare branches, draped with lights that look like snow, equals seasonal beauty and Feng Shui harmony in one happy package. (Photo Credit: sacramentopress.com)
2. Inside, I love this idea for paper snowflakes — cut them out of bright orange paper for a cheery change of pace!

3. Finally, here’s a cozy way to decorate with things you may already have. Use a mix of ornaments old and new to create a fun centerpiece that picks up the light and Fire-y energy all around your home.

How are you bringing warmth and positive Chi into your home this holiday season?
The lighting looks soo pretty! I love those pussy willow lights. I also have those at home too. I got mine from http://www.worldtohome.com/willow-branch-lights.aspx
Thanks Anna. I love holiday lights on just about anything, their light is so lovely 🙂
Hi Ann,
I have a question, my front door faces South (I have painted Red) I am just wondering when it comes to Christmas decorations how much decoration of lights should I do? I love this one, but I am not sure if I would be over doing being that my house faces South. Please Help, Thank You!
Hi Maria,
I’m guessing that you live in the Northern Hemisphere, where Christmas comes at the darkest, coldest time of year. In this case decorating your door with lights and warm colors creates very beneficial Chi energy, as the “fiery” decorations balance the Water element that’s in control during this season of the winter solstice.
