Today is Day 12 of the Creative Christmas Countdown!
Decorate the Kids Rooms!
Decorating the kids rooms is definitely going to be a new Christmas tradition!
Henry and I decided on creating a Christmas tree of lights in the corner of his bedroom.
We found a string of lights and I got busy taping and stringing them up.
I did hammer one nail in at the top near the corner of the ceiling. Using that nail, I strung the lights over top and down to the baseboard. There I taped them in place [hoping that it'll hold enough through the holidays]!
While Henry didn’t really help with hanging the lights, he ‘assisted’ me instead with grabbing the items for me when I needed them.
We found a lot of scraps of red ribbon that we decided to hang with the lights, too. This added a lot of flare and made it really stand out! I simply hung them from the nail and twisted them around the strings of lights, letting them loosely hang in place.
This has been an awesome tradition so far! I turn them off as I head to bed at night, and Henry requests to turn them on just before nap.
Its a wonderful Christmas tradition that I’m glad to start with the boys. Next year we’ll do George’s room too!
Now, go spread the Christmas decorations into your kids’ rooms this year! Hang some lights, or even just ornaments from their curtain rods! Place the advent calendar in their room, or a special Christmas stocking. Make them feel special this holiday season!
And we all have leftover Christmas decorations that sometimes don’t make it out of the box… send them with the kids to their rooms and see what they come up with!

Great idea with the lights. I've always thought of little trees but never a big light tree.
Yeah!!! I love the tree, and the red ribbon is a VERY nice touch!
I love it! What a great night light

Love it! It works as a bribe too. I just told the kids if the room was cleaned, we'd put up Christmas lights…they're now cleaning.

Gorgeous. Simple yet beautiful.
gorgeous! We just put up some dragonfly fairy lights in C's bedroom last night and she LOVES them!
Beautiful tree – he must absolutely love it and not want to turn it off!
Oh I love this idea Jamie! Now I'm sad we're leaving town in 2 days! Would've loved to do this in my daughters room. Better save it for next year! Thanks for sharing!
Shucks, now I am going to have to buy some more lights because this is too awesome not to try!
WOW
I love it!
They are beautiful. What a great idea. x
Love this, so cool and the kids will absolutely love it. And it’s simple to do. Perfect!
