Lighting Decorations For Christmas Cheer This December

In this season of Christmas it is not only our homes that are a designed to welcome the spirit of Christmas. Commercial establishments such as shopping malls, restaurants, and cafes are adorned with all sorts of Christmas decorations. Even the street lamps and poles lights are also covered with Christmas decorations. Although I know that some store owners are not believers of the spirit of Christmas, they still decorate their stores just to join with the rest who do. As the infamous quote goes, "if you can’t beat them join them."

Well, it does not really matter if they believe the meaning of Christmas. The most important thing is that they are one with us who believe it. They set their personal feelings and beliefs aside for the sake of those who do and partly because business reasons. For most of us, we will surely visit the shopping malls, stores and restaurants which displays the best and the brightest Christmas decorations. There is even this one store which even changed the bulbs of their indoor and outdoor sconce lighting to a different color, the colors of Christmas, to join in with the Christmas cheer. It was quite a beauty. My aunt was enchanted with it and the same day we shopped for light bulbs. She changed all the outdoor sconce lighting in her veranda with green, red, blue, gold, silver and white. It is a good thing though that the base of the individual sconce lighting has been customized to a different color. Otherwise we would have painted it to match the color of the light bulbs.

We have our own ways of celebrating Christmas. We also have our own ways of adorning our homes to welcome the spirit of Christmas. Perhaps other people may think of it as eccentric, weird and an over kill. But who cares? This is a free country.

Sconce Lighting Making Every Space Special

Almost every one of us has a special place inside our home. Others mostly choose their room as their favorite place at home while some likes their living room or kitchen. The least appealing part of every home is either the attic or the garage. The ambiance is either sad, scary or intoxicating. But that can be changed by adding colorful indoor and outdoor sconce lighting such as the Saucer Vapor-Tight Wall Light. What is great about this type of lighting fixture is that you can customize it. You can change the clear jar color with a different hue such as frosted, red, blue, green, amber, and amber crackle. You can also match and mix the different jar colors with the different cast guard finish such as raw aluminum, brushed patina, polished aluminum, painted steel and many others to suit your taste. However, you will get a genuine brass or copper base if you prefer the brass or copper fixture. The cast guard on the other hand will be aluminum with a brass or copper finish.

Other than changing the usual boring lighting fixture of our attic or garage, we can also do some painting job that will make it favorable and attractive. Choose a lighter color especially if there are no windows to brighten up the room. Otherwise, you can purchase a contemporary metal wall art and modern wall art decor which are stylish and colorful. Moreover, adding some artificial plants or faux plants will also make the room livelier. I still prefer live plants but in places such as the basement, attic or garage, I do not think they will survive. 

Attics and garages do not necessarily have to look sad and scary. Changing the wall colors, adding some artificial plants and decorative sconce lighting can make a great difference. We may not frequently visit these parts of our home but somehow, it is not as scary looking as it used to be.

Protect The Wildlife By Raising Environmental Awareness

 

Government and private sectors have been encouraging us to be Eco-friendly. In Biblical terms, we are the stewards of the flora and fauna which means that it is our responsibility to take care of both plants and animals. It is our duty to propagate them to ensure that they will not go into extinction. However because of man's greed and abusive nature, some plants and animals are now in the verge of extinction.

According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, there are 1237 species which are in the verge of extinction. These include China's peaceful giant panda, mountain gorilla, Florida panther, beluga sturgeon, blue whale, polar bear, elkhorn and staghorn coral and loggerhead turtle to name a few endangered wildlife. One of the main reasons of their near extinction is global warming, pollution, destruction of their natural habitat and over-hunting. In spite of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), an environmental law which is signed by President Nixon on December 28th, 1973 which main goals are to protect, recover and pursue their recovery of endangered animals and conserve candidate species and those which are at risk, there are still a some individuals who are indifferent to the laws. They disregard the fact that the extinction of this species and the destruction of their natural habitat will also not only them, but their children and their children's children as well. 

As the government and private sectors spread environmental awareness, more people are conscious and eager to protect and preserve nature by means of using energy efficient indoor and outdoor sconce lighting, practicing the 3 R's which are reduce, recycle and reuse, conserving energy by turning off and unplugging appliances which are not in use, using renewable energy by installing solar panels for their electrical system, using biogas or biofuels, and by participating in tree planting activities. If your yard is big enough, you can plant trees and even grow a vegetable garden.
