Gingerbread house

Illuminating the key features like the doorway and windows the way you would outline a candy-coated gingerbread house. The icing on the cake is the little gingerbread men lining the fence at the front, under the watchful eye of the big gingerbread man.

Climbing Santa

But here is one where you have Santa climbing up the front of the building, illuminated by light up wreaths and garlands on the balconies. Having the Santa look like he’s climbing a rope up the home is a very creative way of depicting the way Santa gets to the roof.

Instead of bright lights adorning the house, they have just decorated the trees and put some light up garlands and wreaths up to illuminate the front of the building. If you are not a fan of bright colours, this may be an easy and pretty option to bring some light to the outside of your home.
