As winter and its holidays officially approach, getting into the spirit may require an extra cup of cheer in these bleak times. But it's important to celebrate the higher meaning of such occasions, says Pamela.

Whether you're hosting family and friends or just want to honor holiday traditions in your home, decorating smartly for this season means working with what you already have and considering a few inexpensive, contemporary accents.

On Dec. 2, Pamela appeared on WKYC-TV 3's Good Company to discuss affordable, trendy holiday decorating ideas and resources. Product support for this segment was from Z Gallerie and Donzell's Flower and Garden Center.

Pamela appears on Good Company monthly as the show's interior design and lifestyle expert. Her hair and makeup are by Valerie Logston, and her clothing is from Banyan Tree.
