According to a survey by Unity Marketing, about 80 percent of American households will be "decking their halls" for the holiday season. Most individuals will also add a few new pieces to their existing ornament and decorations to keep up with what's in style.

Whether you are hosting a large holiday party or a quiet gathering with close family and friends, here are some quick and easy decorating ideas that will surely add a festive feel to your home:

[naviga:font face="ZapfDingbats"]4[/naviga:font] Repetition helps to highlight your holiday theme. Use poinsettias or hydrangea in your tree, garlands, large glass hurricanes or as accents to other centerpieces. You can also tuck them around photo frames and candles. Use your favorite item such as holly, flowers and pinecones. The key is to use these items throughout your home.
