Holiday luminarias are a wonderful tradition. Here's a new take on lighting walkways that uses lanterns with larger pillar candles. Lasting longer than the paper bag variety, these decorations can be lit night after night through December.

White lights accent the sculptural form of these matching topiaries, and a lush evergreen wreath is a pleasing geometric opposite to the door's rectangular window. Simple decorations like these show how easy it is to add holiday style.

Framing the door and nearby foliage with lights, ribbons, and a wreath creates a bright, inviting entryway. Keeping outdoor decorating simple makes an easier -- and safer -- setup. Think of lighting and decorating ideas that don't require standing on a ladder outdoors in December!

Recommission garden decor for the holidays. This birdbath is lined with a fresh pine wreath and topped with a vine ball. To add sparkle, thread a strand of battery-powered white lights into the ball. Use green floral wire to attach the lights. It's an appealing focal point in a winter garden.

Perk up garden ornaments with party accessories. These garden geese have been dressed up with ribbons, a child's bow tie, strands of sparkly beads, pinecones, a toy Santa's hat, and a little girl's holiday hair clip.
