Christmas might just be the most wonderful time of year. It's the season of giving, celebrating, and general merriment (or so we hope). It's also the time when many of us throughout the country have already received our first snow. And that, of course, signals the start of the holiday decorating season.

For us, decorating for Christmas is almost always a joyous and nostalgic experience. The air is filled with anticipation as we eagerly bring out boxes filled with treasured ornaments from our childhood (read: that embarrassing craft project that you made for your parents in first grade) and shimmering multi-colored lights. We carefully hang green wreaths with berries and red bows on our front door, and hang stockings on the mantle, ready to be filled with candy and gifts. Garland is strung up; popcorn is threaded; and somewhere, the sound of a Christmas tree being cut down resonates in the air. (Or, it could be the sound of cursing as you struggle to get the Christmas tree out of the basement where you stuffed it after last year’s holiday takedown. We’re not here to judge.)

So, where do you begin? Icicle lights? Inflatable snowmen and light-up Santas? Are you about to be in a fierce competition with your neighbor for who has the best Christmas lights? Are you a traditionalist or do you prefer experimenting with the latest trends in home decor and outdoor decoration?

If you’re on a budget like so many of us this year, you’re also likely looking for an affordable way to upgrade your Christmas decor. And, if we’re going to open our wallets for a bit of new holiday cheer, we want it to be unique and something that we’ll return to year after year.

We’ve curated a list of affordable Christmas decor from Amazon because the holiday is about filling your home with festive cheer and family members, not stress. That is, until someone forgets the eggnog.
