Christmas Central – The Blog

Welcome once more to the station that keeps you up to date on all things Christmas Central related, CCEN. Winter Clearlight here, and noting that more than ever, people are interested in visuals. Decoration is just one facet of that, but the one that people constantly observe.

For example this article speaking of decor and the Artisoo Gallery suggests that oil paintings are a good way to improve a room. It suggests that as a versatile art form, that one could pick and choose precisely the option for their own home.

Well, here at Christmas Central, we encourage that idea, as we have our own selection of such paintings. They come in multiple shapes, as large hanging paintings, wall panels, or even in segments meant to hang next to each other. And they come in many forms and drawings, like this handsome drawing of a woman. And they come in other styles too.

If, for example, one is a fan of flowers and floral art, we have many options for that. Some of them are realistic in appearance, like this wall hanging of red poppies. If perhaps, however, the preference is for more non-realistic, even abstract style, this drawing of the same breed of flowers in a completely different style may appeal to your senses. Other nature based art includes animal images like this striking horse painting.

If rather than imagery, a person might be more interested in symbolic or stylized art, there are plenty of options for that too. This three-segment hanging might be what you need for visualizing geometric art. But on the other hand, perhaps you would be better set with earth toned imagery like in this painting.

Whatever an art lover wishes to find, Christmas Central may have. Don’t hesitate to check out our art selection right away. It extends further than just oil paintings, as well. Winter Clearlight, saying good night.

Welcome once again to CCEN, the news network for Christmas Central. As always, I am Winter Clearlight, your elf anchor.

The recent weather has been troubling to many people. As the wintry season wears on into its late months, people begin to feel the stress, cooped up at home. Cabin fever sets in, and people long for winter to end.
Some, as my esteemed college Peanut the Elf noted, fight back against the winter blahs by creating an escape from the season, a warm or tropical vista in their houses. But today I am here to suggest, as part of our ongoing winter reporting, that there is plenty to be gained by instead embracing the winter feel. Celebrate the cold months in style by embracing their cool tones and snowy style.

And here at Christmas Central, we have plenty that can fill that need. For example, in terms of imagery that makes one think of winter, there’s hardly anything that comes to mind faster than the Snowman. A few of these cheerful fellows around the house, and even well after Christmas they can raise spirits as a symbol of the beauty of winter.

In terms of coloration, pale and cool colors are the way to go when trying to give a winter feel to a place. Blue, for example is a big color for winter themes. So perhaps a blanket or a rug in that color for your room? There is no limit to what can be done with this.

Nature based scenery works well too!

And then there is the matter of art that represents winter. Throw pillows, for example, can represent any part of winter, and sometimes go beyond that, such as this item that has both a fall and a winter side to it. Or perhaps the house would be best suited with a reminder of winter sports, in blanket form.

To sum up, the view of this station is not to fear winter, but instead welcome it, and use it to your advantage. Make your house a striking reminder of the coldest season of the year, for your own enjoyment. Winter Clearlight here, signing off.
