Christmas/Holiday Bedding?

Regal Bee — Sat, 30 Jun 2018 18:22:29 GMT

We are redoing our guest room for Christmas and I have been looking at holiday bedding online. There seems to be a lot of it out there and it is, indeed, quite lovely.

Do you use holiday bedding during the Christmas season? I never have before except for Christmas pillows. Very much interested in your input and feedback.

Love this set:

I don't. All of our family lives here so we don't needthat bedroom unless our grandsons spend the night. I never did our bedroom because of the short time we're up there. I might if it were in a house with one floor and was visable from other rooms.

@Regal Bee I wish I could do what is in that picture. One day, maybe. For now, I spread throws on the grandkids' beds and place some small pillows and trees on the end tables. However, I LOVE Malden Mills Polarfleece Holiday Print & Solid Sheet Set. I am the only "cold" sleeper in the house, so it isn't good for anyone else.

I love the idea of Christmas bedding, but it's just not worth it for me to change out an entire bed for only a month or so. The extent of my holiday decorating in the bedroom is a holiday throw and a decorative pillow and maybe a holiday decor piece on the dresser or nightstand.

I used to put up a small tree in the bedroom but don't even do that anymore. I must getting old, I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm definitely paring down in all rooms of the house.

It sounds like a lovely idea, if it makes you happy, then go for it. 😊

When my boys were younger & shared a room I always put a small Christmas tree w/children's nativity set (from Home Interiors) and they had snowman flannel sheets & matching quilts on their beds. I even made drapes from twin sheets .... I think back then Ibought the set from Sears catalog.

Their bathroom also was decorated with Santa motif including shower curtain, rugs & towels.

It was so much fun to decorate for Christmas back then! Those definitely were the best years 😊

I love your replies....thanks.

I wouldn't usually think about this except for the fact that we are having my brother and sister in law here, whom I adore and two sets of dear friends...all at different times during the month of December. I just want the room to be extra special. We probably will have to use my husband's study also....he has a sofa bed but I won't decorate it.

In fact, I may get my sewing machine out. @homedecor1 I used to make everything from sets of sheets....I even sewed them on towels to match the entire bedroom/bathroom.

Our heavy winter comforter has stripes on one side and a holly/bayberry print on the other so I reverse it over Christmas. The picture you posted @Regal Bee is lovely. My friend is an excellent quilter and I was thinking of having her make a Christmas quilt from a kit I found online.

That picture was our bed last year. I kind of went overboard with the pillows.

@Regal Bee If I were a guest during Christmas, I would love Christmas bedding.

I have deer sheets with holly which I use all through Winter until the weather warms up as they are flannel.

I bought this flannel bedding set from WS last Christmas but I have that rustic lodge look going. I have an all white comforter that I top this set with so it doesn't scream Paul Bunyan Sleeps here. 😉

@Marsha2003 Thank you! Is your 'woody' pillow from Pottery Barn? I love that pillow....do you know if it is still offered?

@mousiegirl I was thinking the same thing!

I just want these guests to know how special they are to me.

Re: Christmas/Holiday Bedding?

@Snowpuppy Love, love. I would do an entire home in the Lodge look if I had the money to do so. I think it is so welcoming!

I don't change bedroom for Christmas. The pic looks lovely, but it's just me so no point in doing it. Also, no room to store the items off-season. I don't think my grown kids even notice all the decorating that I do. Doing much less each year and donating what I don't use.

What a great idea to decorate a bedroom for the holidays, never thought of that. We decorate trees, house why not? Your guests will love it, I know I would!

@Regal Bee I love the Christmas bedding esp if you’re wanting a Christmas theme for the holiday. Then after the season, change out the spread, Pillows, and mat to go with the sheets and bed ruffle. Love it but I don’t do theme bedding.

@Regal Bee

Just remember - if you buy it you'll have to store it later!

I have several bedding sets for my master bedroom just because I like to change things up and storing them is a headache. I use space bags but they still take up a lot of room.
