WINTER SOLSTICE: A COZY WINTER WONDERLAND

Christmas is officially over. The busiest and most festive holiday season ended a few days ago. I love how the festive vibes are still lingering in the atmosphere with my favorite season, winter solstice, which arrived on Saturday, December 21st.

Every day is a blessing, but certain days and months inspire unlimited creativity. As a creative individual, I am enthusiastic about creating unique objects that bring the utmost fulfillment to any space.

I love nature and what God has placed there, so I decided to do a cozy winter wonderland Christmas theme with these cold, chilly days. Nothing too over the top, but enough to give way to the winter effects. I admire polar bears, and they are beautiful. So, they are the perfect creatures to complement a winter solstice. God created them to adapt to extreme temperatures, and they adapt remarkably. However, while putting my color palette together, I had a precise and clear picture of the decorative objects that would bring this theme together cohesively. To make a long story short, I perfectly styled my Christmas tree after gathering and eliminating certain pieces.

I decided on a variety of muted-colored shatterproof balls in silver, blue(s), gold, and white, also with the addition of frosted pinecones, snowy pinecones, white winter berries, furry spiral curly sprays, and white ball picks. Dressing her was easy, considering the theme, but I ensured it was unique.

I used silver and white wrapping paper for the presents, which is beautiful. Lastly, the polar bears brought the entire winter wonderland theme together. The bears are striking, daring, and statement-making.

I am closing the holiday season with a theme I enjoyed creating and styling. It was beyond fun and exciting, and this tree might stay in place to celebrate the winter solstice.

Until next year, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

XK, Kimberly
