Outdoor holiday decorations complement landscaping for all 4 seasons. They enliven yards early in winter, when we're desperate for color. As the last autumn leaves fall, is it any wonder that our thoughts turn to replacing some of that color with outdoor holiday decorations? Once the new year begins, we anticipate better weather with cheerful outdoor holiday decorations for spring. Here I present some of the most popular outdoor holiday decorations for the current season or an upcoming season.
1. Outdoor Holiday Decorations: Celebrate Summer!
Nothing else says summer like playing in the water. This water garden decor features turtles playing in the water, on top of a barrel. An eyelet on the bottom allows you to secure it to one area of your pond, if desired. A UV-resistant coating protects the ornament, which measures 9.5 inches high X 7.5 inches wide X 5 inches long. What I like about this decor: if you don't have real turtles in your pond, this is the next best thing; and the barrel is a whimsical stroke of genius.
2. Outdoor Holiday Decorations: More "Wildlife" for the Summer Yard
Or are terrestrial critters more your style? This 3-piece resin/metal set of squirrel figures captures them in running, jumping and landing poses, respectively. Stakes (included) anchor them to the ground. Figures vary from 7.5 to 9.5 inches in length. What I like about this decor: the style is rough cut, suggesting a wood carving, making it a tasteful addition to the landscape.3. Outdoor Holiday Decorations: Inch Worm Yard Ornament
This 8 1/2" resin inch worm adds a touch of whimsy to the yard. Apparently ready to go on a picnic, he wears a checkered neckerchief and straw hat and is carrying along utensils and a picnic basket. Let's hope he doesn't intend to dine on our plants! What I like about this decor: kids will love it, because it's colorful and because, well, it's an inch worm (a critter that just plain tickles the fancy).
