subject: Redecorating Holiday Fun-based Activities Such As New Year's Eve Using Christmas Lights [print this page] December 31 is the day we rejoice over New Year's Eve, but that wasn't always the date it was celebrated in the past years. Some 4000 years ago, the Babylonians rejoiced the beginning of the New Year after the first crescent moon after the first day of Spring in honor of the earth being "reborn" following the winter season. We enjoy one day in respect of the New Year, but the Babylonians' celebration lasted for eleven days! Although our special events and parties probably pale compared to the Babylonian celebrations, our New Year's Eve party can be shimmering, stunning, and memorable when you spruce up with LED lights.
Appetizers are great for New Year's Eve get-together so guests can mingle and speak with everyone present. Use white mini LED light sets or battery controlled light packs along with champagne glasses, black top hats, lots of curly ribbon in tints of silver and gold, confetti, candles, and glitter on the canape table for a great presentation of your finger foods and drinks.
Are your guests planning to watch the ball drop on television? Surround your color TV with mini light setup, streamers and curly ribbon since it will be a focus during the ball drop and probably for some of the broad casted festivities following the coming of the New Year.
If you have a large room where you'll be drinking, such as family room, great room, function room, or reception hall, use several light sets on the ceiling. String them from a focal point in the middle of the room, hanging them with clear wire towards the sides of the room and in between. The ceiling eye catching piece could be dazzling stars, moons, and streamers dangling down at varying distance from the ceiling.
Welcome your invited guests by using Christmas light stakes to hang traditional C7 or C9 or LED lights along pathways and small stairway. Your visitors will be in a festive emotion before they hit on your door!
Battery controlled lights add flicker to any party hat, so think of adding them to your glittery party hat and make a true statement.
Balloons, streamers, and lights are supplied at a great party, so make use of them liberally in your hallway, powder rooms, kitchen, dinner area, basement, or any other room in which your guests will congregate.
A themed New Year's Eve party would be appreciated with your guests. Some preferred themes for this holiday will include a Roaring 20's theme, a Black Tie event, a luau, an 80's or 50's motif, or an all American theme. No matter which design and color scheme you choose, there are a wide variety of colorful mini lights to compliment or match your New Year's Eve party ornaments.
Is the Christmas tree still in place? Leave the light setup on the tree and replace your Christmas ornaments with New Year's type decorations that either match or fit into your party theme or in a traditional style. Crystal clear mini lights or warm white mini LED lights are the perfect backdrop for glittering stars, fancy top hats, and bulbs.
New Year's Eve gives us a motivation to celebrate the coming year and to enjoy family and friends at the same time. Our mini lights, battery operated LED light sets, and our crafted lights offer a great variety of decorating choices when it comes to bringing light, elegance, or whimsy to your New Year's Eve party.
