When selling your home at Christmas time, keep decorations simple. The goal is to add a festive touch to make the home light and bright. Try a thin Christmas tree, such as a pencil tree, rather than a large, full tree, so as not to over fill a room, making it look small. Keep lights either one color or clear and ornaments elegant and use fewer of them.
