This year we are leaving earlier than usual to join my family in Europe for the holidays. The idea of going through the process of buying, decorating and then taking down the Christmas tree for a mere 7 days of enjoyment just seemed too much. I, however, am a BIG Christmas fan and could not live with a bare house around the holidays. These are some creative, simple solutions I found to replace (somewhat) the big needle dropping, ornament carrying living thing.

| They obviously don't have to be Gucci, but you get the idea. In fact each box in a different color might be perfect. |
 |
This is the simplest solution. Open box of decorations, dump in a vase, hurricane lamp or clear bowl.
Ta dah! |
 |
| This might involve some effort and commitment. But how about doing it on a cork board covered in red/green/silver/gold felt/paper? Fun craft for everyone as there is no right or wrong position. Inspiration from Elle Interior. |
 |
| This is way beyond my sewing capabilities, but some crafty souls out there could knock this out in no time, not to mention getting rid of all those scraps of material. |
To wrap up the holiday decoration section I will also add these two clever ideas. Simple for everyone to tackle but slightly outside the box.
