Alternative tree
Sometimes you have to go against the grain to have some fun. If you live in a small home where there’s no room for a traditional Christmas tree, create one of your own. You can do this on the wall with holiday lights, bulbs and your favorite ornaments. The more creative you are, the better.

White Christmas
Traditionalists at heart can enjoy a snow-inspired holiday by hosting an all-white party. There is something so magical about being surrounded by white interiors — it’s enchanting.
