Welcome to Five Ways To Say It:

Video Monday! 

Out loud; in your head; under your breath!

Practice makes progress!

Those are great decorations!

Those are great decorations!

Those are great decorations!

“Those are great decorations!” It is the season to see lots of decorations. “Those are great decorations!” is a simple and easy way to say that you like what you see.

Companies/people do their best in making the holidays come to life for their customers/family members. They choose decorations that make the holidays a bit more festive!

“Those are great decorations!” You could also change the word order “Those decorations are great!” It is a nice way to show your appreciation for someone’s effort to celebrate.

Those are great decorations!

Those are great decorations!

Those are great decorations!

Have a good one!

Katie
