Christmas decorations

I am so excited to share the two special Christmas decorations I made myself.

For my first piece, I crafted this unique wall hanging using a green tinsel garland to create the shape of a modern, space-saving Christmas tree. I carefully wove in strands of fairy lights and decorated it with classic red and green baubles and gold bells to add a warm, festive glow. This was my way of bringing the traditional Christmas spirit into my home in a new and personal way.

My second decoration is this beautiful, large decorative camel figurine which I placed next to a warm, Moroccan-style lantern. I was drawn to the intricate, hand-painted details that reflect traditional Indian artistry. I learned that in Vastu, a camel statue is a symbol of endurance and perseverance, which brings good luck and protection from negative energies to the home. It adds such an exotic and meaningful charm to my festive setup. The whole process was made even more special because my 11-year-old granddaughter was sitting nearby watching me the entire time. When the pieces were finally finished, she was absolutely delighted! She immediately started showing them to her friends, proudly saying, "Look what my grandma made this Christmas!" That made all the effort worthwhile. I truly enjoyed making these pieces and love how they incorporate both traditional Christmas colours and unique cultural elements into my seasonal decor, and the joy they brought my granddaughter.
