HolidayDecorating Tip ipssi Home—Improvements—ForThe Holidays (NAPSA)—It’s getting to look a lot like Christmas and someof the season’s most sensational looks sparkle with lights, lights and morelights. The top lighting trends this season include: Clear lights randomly twinkling all over the light string (instead of every second, fourth or sixth light going on and off together), and “icy” fiber-optic wreaths, garlands and trees crimped to allow morevisible light to shine along each strand. Seven-foot-tall illuminated, inflatable Christmas characters to welcome visitors are available from the Improvements Catalog (www.improvementscatalog.com). Choose from snow kids with their tree or a Teddy Bear Santa. Just open the box, flick a switch on the built-in electrical air pump and watch the characters take—and keep—their shape. A newtrend in outdoor decor incorporates holographics into this holiday classic motif. Improvements offers a holographic gingerbread house and gingerbread kids, and for indoors a resin, fiber-optic lighted gingerbread train and gingerbread house, and gingerbread resin stocking holders. Also available from Improvements is a 12-inch-tall elegant fiber-optic angel that looks like a china doll. She plays eight different holiday songs. Morphing continues to be popular in homes across America. To make your season bright, visit www.improvementscatalog.com or call 1-800-642-2112.
