By Decorology @decorology_blog
I'm a little ashamed to admit that I love other people's Christmas and holiday decorations, but when it comes to putting up my own, I really drag my feet. I let the weeks pass by, and then it just seems too late to bother. If there are any other of you out there like me, here are a few simple decorating ideas, which are easy and quick enough that you won't need to procrastinate.

Candle light and incandescent lighting from table lamps and sconces, not overhead lighting, give off a warm glow.
