If I am thinking of the right mailbox , is it rectangular with a slightly rounded top ? If it is , as a rural mail carrier for 30 years , I think this is a great mailbox !!! Now as for decorating it you can't put anything that would get in the way of putting mail into it. So this is what I suggest ,
Wrap a ribbon around the post , then tie a big ribbon around the box with a big bow on top . You can slip some pine and pine cone picks
under the bow. As for lights, if you want to try an inexpensive way , buy some battery operated lights from the dollar store and keep the box with the batteries in a ziplock bag tucked out of sight. Only issue with that is you will need to manually turn the lights on and off ( with dollar store ones ) they do make them with timers , but they are more expensive and they all say for indoor use....
Susan: here are some more great ideas! HAVE FUN!

It would be awesome if you decorated it with bleached pinecones pine tree branches and battery operated copper lights. This would create such a beautiful, whimsical, winter-y mailbox. We hope you feel inspired!!
