My Favorite Camping Sites and Home Decor

Is the seldom traveled road to your house just a snowy path because your camping sites are not prepared for visitors? There's something you can do about that, so listen up.

Now, it occurs to me that camping sites and home decor may not seem like the perfect companions, but if you want to create an' atmosphere of fun and make your friends and neighbors jealous, stay with me.

My favorite camping sites for winter fun have more to do with how comfortable I am than whether I can hope for my next meal to swim past or wander by at just the right moment. I must admit, I have not done a whole lot of camping, unless you count sleeping in the car while traveling as major camping experiences. Still, there's a lot to be said for making winter better by finding any means possible to hurry it along an' let the warm weather take its place.

As the snow piles up around the house, extending for miles an' miles an' miles... I like to find unique ways to decorate so's my home has a feeling of beauty an' a decor that is unique from all others. If you'd like to learn one of my favorite camping sites an' decorating tips for winter, keep reading. You may find that this becomes your favorite, as well.

Sometimes, Mother Nature provides some unique perspectives on what is fun in camping sites. Just as Mother Nature offers so many clever ideas for camping sites, so I have come up with my own handy twist to keep me close to home.

Although this may look like one of the ideal home decorating an' camping sites to the die-hard camper, I don't personally find it all that appealing as a camping site. On the other hand, if I am warm an' toasty indoors an' looking out at this lovely scene, it is certainly perfect for looking through picture windows; don'tcha think?

Look around and you will see that camping sites are everywhere. Mother Nature knows how to play and she knows how to decorate. Therefore, doesn't it just make sense to take our clues from Mother Nature when we wanna' decorate an' create our own camping sites? I say, let Mother Nature join in the fun.

Gather your sleeping bags, your tents an' your camping gear an' follow me. We are gonna' invite Mother Nature to join us.

I thought the following photo would be more appropriately named "A Family in the Making."

Have you ever noticed all those lonely snowmen from camping sites with hardly any visitors during the winter season? Well, let's invite them inside. After all, they must get mighty cold, sitting outside alla' time.

There is a famous inscription on the James Farley Post Office in New York City that reads, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

Although this inscription is not, as commonly thought, the official creed for the US Post Office, I feel compelled to state the obvious; that snowmen are at least as loyal to this statement as US Postal Carriers. So, don'tcha' think it would be neighborly of us to share summa' our warmth with the snowmen who spend so much time outdoors, making our lives fun? I do.

I think you will agree that this is a great camping site. We should always camp at home and invite the neighbors in to share the fun. In this way, we won't hafta' be out in the cold an' wind an' we'll have all kinds of conveniences that simply are not available in the wild, to be honest.

There are other benefits to having your camping sites at home that you may have not thought of. For one thing, there are very few bear attacks inside the home. Another good point is that you will save all that gas money by not having to drive to another camping site. And you don't wanna' forget that if you didn't catch your limit today, you can still go to the fridge an' fish around in there for somethin' tasty. Jus' sayin'...

Oh, yeah; an' there's always the fact that you are changing-up your home decor to ward off those nasty winter blues.
