If your car could talk, it would probably ask you to stop putting so much time, money and effort into its makeover every time the holiday season rolls around. Since your car doesn’t actually have a mouth with which to speak these words, you can use these tips to give your car a holiday makeover while still keeping your relationship intact.

Whether you drive a Volkswagen Beetle, a Ford F-150, or a Dodge Challenger, your car can be an extension of your holiday spirit.

Start with small touches.

Spruce: Every year after Thanksgiving, I take my kids around to shake loose some of the papers that inevitably come tumbling out of their book bags. The spruce has been part of my family’s holiday tradition for ages. It’s not too late to start yours!

Treet: The tree is a natural way to bring the holiday spirit into your car without being too overbearing. Choose a small one that will fit in your backseat and place it in a bucket or large bowl so that it stays upright. You can also put small presents underneath the tree for the same effect. Be sure to use lights with non-lead cords so that you don’t get an electric shock when you sit down.

If you’re thinking about getting your car decked out for the holidays, well, that’s a little late. But there’s still time to get it looking festive for the new year.

Here are some tips to make your holiday car art last.

(1) Buy paint pens in the right colors. They are easier to use than paintbrushes because they apply less paint, and they don’t drip like a can of spray paint will.

(2) You can get paper stencils from office supply stores or online. Search for “stencil” and “car” in Google Images to see what kind of designs you can find. Or look at Pinterest for ideas — just search for “stenciled cars.”

(3) Plan what you want to do on your car before you start painting. If you try to go freehand, you might find yourself with a design you don’t like and no way to repaint it without starting over.

(4) Remember that even if your design is perfect when you finish, it will probably peel up eventually. To prevent that, first use a clear coat of spray paint over your design (wait until it’s dry). Then seal it with a coat of wax, or even better, an all

If you have a car, you can give it a holiday makeover.

You’ll find lots of ideas on the Internet. Some of them are just silly; the car manufacturers didn’t intend their cars to be decorated that way. But your car is different. Anything you do to your car is more creative and better looking than anything they do at the factory.

And some of the ideas on the Internet are great! Here are some suggestions:

1) Put a wreath on your car’s antenna. You don’t need an expensive one; any wreath will do. The local dollar store usually has some for a dollar or two, or maybe you have an artificial one that you can put in a vase and hang from the antenna. If you have no leaves left, get some from a friend who has a real wreath. The idea is to hang it upside-down–the leaves should hang down toward the ground, to catch the attention of passersby and those who see pictures of your car online. The downside-down wreath also suggests to people who know that it’s upside-down that something is going on, which makes them look more closely at what else might be going on with your car.

2) Get a big bow (at

As everyone knows, the closer we get to the holidays, the more frantic people become. And they are always running out of time. But when it comes to their cars, most people are in no hurry at all. Even though there’s plenty of time, most drivers don’t start thinking about holiday car decorations until the week before Thanksgiving; and even then, they are not very thorough in their preparations.

Truck drivers are more organized. They start putting up lights and decorations long before Thanksgiving, so that by Christmas Eve everything is ready to go.

That’s a smart approach, because truck drivers can’t just pull over and do some decorating on the fly. They have to coordinate with other drivers going in both directions, so they can keep moving while they work.

This means that if you want to catch truckers putting up holiday decorations—and who doesn’t want to see truckers putting up holiday decorations?—you should be driving around on I-80 or I-29 around mid-November.

You can turn your car into a work of art without ruining its functionality or safety. Here are some tips for decorating your car.

Step 1:Freshen up the interior. Wash off stains and dirt, and vacuum the inside of your car to remove any floating particles that could scratch your paint job or cause rusting.

Step 2:Apply a base coat. This will form a protective layer to hold the paint in place. It will also give you an idea of whether or not you need to do more than just wash and wax the surface, since some paints can be applied over old paint jobs without removing the old paint first.

Step 3:Paint! Use whatever paints you have on hand, such as acrylics, latex housepaints or spray-paints. Make sure you use non-toxic paints if you plan to drive with them on.

Step 4:Clear coat! A clear coat is necessary if you want your design to last and look good. It will keep peeling paint from showing through and keep out moisture that could cause rusting or damage the paint job itself.

Step 5:Add decorations! Decals are easy to come by and they’re fun to put on your car, but there are many other ways
