If You're in the Cold: Sitting poolside in the middle of December is overrated. With simple decorations, you can feel like you're vacationing in Miami without the hassle of traveling with the masses. Instead of a traditional tree, try using a festive Palm Tree with Christmas lights (#257982, $98), or take a note from this Santa Inflatable (#2205, $70) and relax under a palm tree. Venture outdoors and pretend you're basking in the sun's rays with the Garden Treasures 30-inch Cast Iron Fire Pit (#256803, $59).

If You're in the Heat: The holiday season usually summons visions of snowmen and sweaters. If your climate remains hot during the annual airing of "White Christmas," don't fret. Lowe's has you covered. The first step to creating a winter wonderland is adding a White Pre-lit Christmas Tree (#257439, $198) to your holiday decor. Also hang Snowflake Lights (#42719, $12.97) in your windows and from lampshades to make your home feel extra frosty. Then curl up on the couch with a warm drink from the Espressione Cafe Retro Espresso Machine (#269922, $392) and picture yourself sitting fireside at a ski lodge.

If Home Sweet Home is Just Right: Sometimes enjoying the holidays with family at home is the best vacation, but don't skip out on the festive decorating. Delight your company with jolly decor, such as the Trio White Ring LED Trees (#258343, $298), a set of three Christmas trees that flash 17 different light effects to five different holiday songs.
