I need ideas for easy outdoor Christmas decorations

We're snowbirds, and we leave for our winter home December 27th. We have really limited storage space for decorations, so currently all we have is a Christmassy evergreen arrangement at the front door and some spotlights on the house. I'd like something unique, but easy to store, put up and take down. Any ideas?

Yup, leave them as is

A reusable wreath on the door, a big red ribbon wrapped around your lamp post and mailbox and maybe a string of white or colored lights framing the inside of front windows of your house. Easy placement, easy removal and easy storage. I would nab the most beautiful permanent wreath at an after Christmas sale and keep that stored until you need it each year for the holidays.
I like to use little fairy lights not only during the holidays for a festive look but throughout the year. They can be strung along your mantle, hung behind sheer curtains, or placed in a tall vase. You might also tack a string of them to the wall making a Christmas tree outline. I have a couple of holiday covers for throw pillows on my sofa. They zip off and take up very little storage space. You can also pick up a few things from the dollar store or a thrift store and then donate them after the holidays. Of course, fragrance is available in many forms and the scent of sugar cookies or evergreen trees immediately evoke a feeling of Christmas.
