Rather than pack up our birdbath and planter this year, I decided to add some evergreens, holly branches, pinecones, and berries that I had on my property and around in my woods! I added a small amount of water to the bottom to freeze the branches in place in the bottom.
I may add a dish of seeds in the middle as winter goes on. It provides just a nice, natural view to enjoy looking out my window during the cold winter.
I decorated my bird bath for Fall with small pumpkins, gourds,, pine cones and colorful fall leaves. I placed the pumpkins and gourds in the birdbath first then secured the leaves and other greenery or dried materials beneath the edge of the gourds and pumpkins.

I am looking for some "natural" decorating ideas for the Christmas Holiday. I plan on using Magnolia leaves, pine bows and pine cones as interior decorations. What I would really like is some outside ideas that I can use. Particularly for my front door and back door as well as my mailbox.
If you have access to a forested area you are sure to find some ground pine (easily looked up if you're not sure what it looks like). It's a vine that grows on the bottom floor of the woods that, as the name suggests, looks like pine. It is an evergreen and the vine is easy to pull up. Wrap it around poles, mailboxes, etc. It's a beautiful, natural garland. Make sure to take plenty of trashbags on your outing, as you'll probably need to pick up plenty.
