One of my favorite things to do this time of year is decorate the house. I seriously wish I could leave up my decorations all year round because I feel like they make my home so much more warm and inviting. And when you're renting a townhouse with bare white walls, trust me, you can use all the warm, fuzzy, home-y feelings you can get.
Here's a sneak peek of the Clements household during the holidays:
I wish I could say our stockings are hung over the fireplace with care. But as you can see, we don't have a fireplace. Or a mantle. Apparently the builders of this home forgot to put those two things in, or maybe they just have an irrational hatred of fireplaces, I don't know. But we improvised. And now I can say that our stockings are hung over the pasty, white wall with care. 
Gifts are wrapped! (These first 2 pictures were taken by my iPhone, by the way. I highly recommend the Best Camera app!)
A view of our decorated dining area/kitchen. I LOVE light up garland.
A close up of our fiber optic Santa Claus. We didn't buy any new indoor decorations this year. These decorations were all purchased from 2005-2008, while we lived in our apartment. And everything you see is from Target!
Our front door. Actually, there is one thing we didn't buy at Target, and that's the doorknob jinglebell decoration, which I got for a buck at the Dollar Tree. Score!
Our Christmas cards on display. I love getting Christmas cards, especially picture ones. And yes, I totally taped up our own Christmas card among the others.

Very cute decorations... it does suck living in an apartment or townhouse that isn't offering a lot to work with... but Christmas is what you make it and as long as you love it... Who cares right?
I love how you hung up your stockings!
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your family! :)

I love all of your decorations and your Christmas card is adorable!
Hi there you!
I know it's awhile...sounds like all is well at your end.
Yes, I too love Xmas and feel very sorry for those who do not know how to enbraceit. Funny story, I own 17 Xmad trees and 10 of them went up this year. I can't help it!!! They bring me such joy and I love that my family enables me to keep my magical ways all over the house! So I say "hum bug" to all those that mock our fansy for Christmas!! Have a great New Year.
