Instructions

1
Hang a Christmas wreath on the door.
-
2
Layer holiday-theme fingertip towels over larger plain towels.

Put out a holiday soap dish and soaps. (Think creatively - the soap dish could be a saucer from a Christmas table setting.)
-
4
Fill a Christmas-theme (or red or green) dispenser with hand lotion and set it near the sink.
-
5
Create a Christmas vignette for the top of the toilet tank. This could include a small Santa figure with a pair of reindeer on cotton batting with glitter snow, for instance, or could be as simple as a potted poinsettia.
-
6
Pull together a similar Christmas vignette for the windowsill.
-
7
Burn a candle with a seasonal scent, such as bayberry, cinnamon, or pine and set out potpourri in the same scent.
-
8
Spray aerosol snow on the window and around the edge of the mirror.
-
9
Hang a garland atop the mirror.
-
10
Put out a Christmas-theme rug (even a welcome mat!) in place of the usual bathroom rug.
-
11
Garnish the decor with sprigs of holly and short lengths of garland where you can. For instance, use garland in place of curtain tiebacks and twist a sprig of artificial holly around the base of the lotion dispenser.

Tips & Warnings
Position burning candles so that no one is likely to sweep a shirttail, cuff or other clothing near the open flame. Also, place burning candles so that the flames will not be near any combustible object such as a hanging towel.

I hang a few of my most special ornaments in front of the mirror from the light fixture over the sink using gold ribbon, and maybe add a beaded garland with it. How you do it depends on the type of light fixture you have, but I've done it in different bathrooms with different fixtures; you always gets a good view of the ornaments when you wash your hands. -

I like to put the white Christmas lights (white wire, not green) around all the bathroom mirrors in my house. It makes for great mood lighting. -

Fill your bathtub to one-third or one-half full of water. Float several candles on the water and wait for the compliments. -
