Christmas Central – The Blog

Hola Amigos and Amigas! Peanut the novelty elf here, to give a different perspective on St. Valentine’s day. Maybe the fact that I live in a giant orange Christmas tree is a hint, but I like things that are a little different. So instead of treading the beaten path of hearts and Cupid, we’re going to try something a bit more novel!

Traditionally Valentine’s day is celebrated by the exchanging of cards and gifts between a man and a woman and the most common decorations one tends to see are window silhouettes. And if the traditional route is the one of your choosing, you may want to consider a multi-holiday light projector.

But enough silly parameters! Here at Christmas Central we recognize that Valentine’s day can also be celebrated between a man and a man or a woman and a woman and are proud to offer a selection of gay pride décor.

But aside from romantic love, there is much more to celebrate this Valentine ’s Day! Show your best friend (link to search results to best friend) how much they mean to you with a personalize-able gift or maybe something a bit more sentimental (picture p80-walk). This time of year is also a great time to reconnect with family. Send your loved ones family portraits in gorgeous decorative frames that will make them swoon, or celebrate the day with a shared activity that you can bond over.

St. Valentine’s Day can also a time to celebrate the greatest love of all. Be sure not to miss our bounding selection of religious décor. For example, angel figurines and statues can be a great way to bring the warmth of God’s love into your heart this cold season.

So take a novel look this often misunderstood holiday and discover that no matter who you’re with, this is a season to celebrate! So get your loved ones or even your(s)elf something nice and have a fantabulous February!

Hola Amigos and Amigas! Peanut the novelty elf here, ready to talk to you about a subject near and dear to my own heart… Victorian décor! See, this little elf hails from the great city of Buffalo, a sensational relic of these forgotten times. Bounding with Victorian era architecture, a well persevered history and a culture that likes to celebrate it, Buffalo truly is a jewel in the rough! And no less amazing are these wonderful décor ideas!

It’s no secret that a Victorian theme is a very popular way to incorporate a touch of classic antique into one’s wedding. But what you may not know is that Christmas Central is your ultimate resource for finding you perfect Victorian decorations! When planning a Victorian themed wedding it is best to stray away from stark white heavily beaded décor one might find in bridal boutique and lean toward more antiqued options along the lines of champagne and lace. Additionally be sure to include many floral elements, pastel colors and pearl decorations as these are sure fire Victorian classics.

Beyond special occasions, this dazzling ornamental theme can be enjoyed in the home as well. Continuing on the rich theme of flowers and jewels we add gilded bird cages and ornate mirrors. Add finishing touches with cherub imagery and damask patterns. This stylish trend can even be continued to the beauty of the outdoors with elaborate birdhouses and white wicker furniture perfect for your very own Victorian themed garden party!

Known for copious florals, pastels and pearls, the Victorian theme may strike you as very feminine. However here at Christmas Central we have some great ideas to incorporate this artful period into your home without losing that strong masculine touch. Beyond the façade of flowers and pearls, Victorian furniture was made of hard mahogany, accented with tones of rich burgundy and heavy gold in striking contrast to white washed walls. Also, you can try to add a sterner feel to your Victorian den with some Roman style busts or clawed footed furniture.

No matter who you are, the Victorian trend can bring an air of sophistication and class to your atmosphere. So click on down to Christmas Central and come embellish your life with some antique beauty from a forgotten age! And stay magical!

Hola Amigos and Amigas, Peanut the novelty elf here! I’m here to tell you the story of how I found the best decorating idea ever! Its had been a long winter here, stuck in my bright orange Christmas tree. I was starting to get a touch of cabin fever, if you can call hurling shatterproof ornaments at the wall trying to break them ‘a touch’. By the way they call them shatterproof for a reason. So I thought I would do a little bit of exploring in the stock room…

First I stumbled on these absolutely fabulous pineapple beach lights. They were so cute and tropical; I immediately took them to my tree home but became quickly unsatisfied when I noticed how non-tropical the rest of my home appeared. The situation was quickly amended when I spotted an extensive selection of artificial palm trees for my little elf self to live in. I had successfully conquered cabin fever, but now, being surrounded by such warm feelings of summer, I had forgotten it was winter. It was now very cold and I needed to wrap up in one of our beach-themed afghan throws.

Cabin fever may be easy to cure for a tiny elf like me. In case your home requires a bit more cheer to fully shake the gloom off this season, be sure to check out our “Beach Party” collection of tropical animals and imagery in bright summer happy colors.

Or for a more sophisticated way to beat the season, try filling your home with coastal items. White washed cottage style furniture and décor items made with capiz shell are sure to ignite memories of ocean vacations. Compliment your theme with statues and images of pelicans and fish.

Ultimately, finding this boatload of summer-y stock really cured my cabin fever! So don’t go crazy andstart hurling things, have a pineapple!

…And a great day!

Hola Amigos and Amigas, Peanut the Novelty Elf here, along with Crouton, the poorly behaved puppy! We were chilling in our orange Christmas tree home when we decided to sniff around the stock room to find some great pet themed decorating ideas for yallz!

We are all very much animal lovers here at Christmas Central and boy does it show! Since our pets cannot always physically be here with us, it’s surprising that we don’t try to carry them around in totes like celebrities. Though if we were to try, these lovely dog totes would do the trick wonderfully! But I suppose dressing them up in adorable costumes will have to suffice for now.

Whether or not we’re showing off our adorable animal companions or not, we always want to take the best care of them we can. With this great deal (POOCHI DOG TOYS 05008) your pooch can always have fresh toys to drool over and classy bowls to drool into. And let’s not forget to keep our furry friends cozy and warm with our great selection of dog themed and cat themed pillows and blankets.

And just like any other pet lovers, we love having homages to animal friends when they cannot be with us! Whether it be picture frames, figurines, animal themed wall clocks or even utility items such as standing fans, we all love to reminded of our animals!

Even when the sad day comes that our animals do pass, they memories continue to live in our hearts. Choose from a variety of pet memorial stones just for your lost loved one that will honor their memory with lasting affection.

So be sure to remember Christmas Central as a novel resource for your pet goods and décor and be sure
to remember your novelty elf before you decide to not scoop that fresh pile off of the floor.

Hola Amigos and Amigas! Peanut the Novelty Elf here to make an observation. See, being a tiny elf, I tend to get into a lot of places I don’t belong. Other peoples’ kitchens, for example. In this process of cookery hoping, I happen up-on a lot of roosters in the kitchen. And all I have to say is that if this is your attempt at farm-fresh decorating, you’re doing it wrong!

Farm themed décor is considered classic Americana. The rooster is a very common occurrence throughout this theme, but perhaps to the point of overdoing it. However, it is possible to create a lovely farm fresh kitchen environment without filling your home with too many cock-a-doodle-doos.

To start your theme, try gaining some inspiration from distressed, farm themed wall art. From there add a country themed thermometer and clocks to always know exactly how fresh your farm environment is exactly.

Have this majestic rooster hold your pots while his lady holds your eggs! You can protect your tables from beverage rings with these barnyard animal coaters (link to 46196) while you protecting your couch from spills with artistic wooden trays (link to search results rooster trays).

But what will need the most protecting is your heart, from falling in love with these precious farm themed decorative accents. You won’t be able to resist tossing some flowers in these adorable hen vases, and add these exciting chalkboard based farm animal figures with included erasers for the kids. Tie the whole theme together with some “Wizard of Oz”  inspired gingham accessories.

And for the whole country heritage experience experience be sure not to miss our extensive selection of Amish-made no-preservative jams, jellies and relishes, as well as other great gourmet food selections!
But why stop at the kitchen when you can adorn your lawn with adorable piglets, or an abundant selection of country themed weather vanes? Enlighten your decision with some old time lanterns!

Well, that’s about all the damage I can do, so I’m taking my cock-a-doodle-doos and getting out of here! Have a farm-fresh day!

Hello again, everyone, and welcome back to CCEN. As always, I’m Winter Clearlight. It’s been a while since our last broadcast. We had a long interruption due to just how amazingly busy we were during the Christmas season, which ended up causing an abrupt end to Christmas Watch. I just want to take a moment to thank all of you, out there, who showed such amazing enthusiasm, showering us here at Christmas Central with so much attention!

But now that Christmas is past once again, it is time to look to the future. And the closet thing in the future we have is the Super Bowl. Yes, it’s just about time once again for that pinnacle of football, the championship game. And what a game it is shaping up to be. Baltimore and San Francisco. The Ravens and the 49ers. A unique event, in which teams coached by brothers will go head to head to win it all.  All eyes are on the Big Easy, New Orleans, on February 3rd.

We carry football decorations unconnected to any team, as well!

It doesn’t matter which of the teams you support, because if you are a fan, now is the time to plan for a party. It’s time to roll out the team welcome mat, and decorate. Christmas Central carries all your needs for a party. We have officially licensed gear for both teams, so be sure to give it a look. And if you don’t find what you need just there, get creative. Use your team colors, for example. The options are endless.

And we can help with more than just the decorations. If you find yourself in need of that specific flavor for your party snacks, we can help there too. As we are located first and foremost in Buffalo, if there’s one things the elves in this area know, its the best options for Buffalo chicken sauce. Bar-B-Q sauce is also an option we offer, good for any meal or snack.

Football season is reaching its most exciting moment, and our hope is that we can, in even a small way, help share that with you. I’m Winter Clearlight, signing off.
