gives a pop of color and a "Merry Christmas" vinyl decal is the perfect way to greet all who stop by this season. I also took apart a Cinnamon broom and stuck the branches in an urn filled with fresh greenery so that the porch would not only look pretty, but smell fantastic too. Inexpensive red scarves around green pillows look festive and fun and can be used all winter long. Hope you've enjoyed my Christmas Front Porch! ~Vanessa
