Producer: Priyanka Das Editor: Manuj Yadav

Special occasions are a great time for decorating our homes. Christmas is no exception.

Here are some home decor items to light up our Christmas spirits.

The Christmas tree

A Christmas tree is essential while preparing to decorate our homes for the December 25 celebrations. Said to be a symbol for spring, life and fertility, it can be a real tree or a synthetic one.

Candles and lanterns

Candles are a great decorative item for Christmas, especially colourful ones. There is a great significance to the use of candles and lanterns as they represent the Star of Bethlehem in Christianity.

Wreaths

Wreaths which contain flowers and evergreen leaves are representative of the cyclical nature of existence and its endlessness. The eternal nature of life represented by the wreaths is also a symbol of Jesus Christ and his immortal essence.

Nativity figurines

Figurines of Jesus as a child, Mary and Joseph, the three Magi, Santa Claus and his eight reindeers, are essential items for Christmas celebrations. They are key pieces of one of the greatest stories ever told across the world.
