Cute little Christmas ideas - happy December!

Happy first of December, folks! I'm feeling rather festive today, and I'm dreaming of how I might decorate my apartment for the holidays... 

If only I had more time to get all crafty....

I'd hang up rustic stockings,

And stuff winter greenery around my candles, like Martha Stewart.

Out in the country, I'd decorate the tree with vegetable seed packets 

(wouldn't that be great in a farmhouse?)

I'd thread green buttons into a mini wreath ornament,

And somehow I'd make this mini feather tree, just because it's adorable ; )

I'd wrap my presents in recycled paper and twine, and garnish them with a sprig of pine (I think this actually looks better than standard wrapping paper)

I'd frame a cork board and paint it white, for a stylish way of displaying Christmas cards.

If I didn't have a real tree, I would make one out of lights.

Oh I could go on & on.... there are so many great ideas out there.

Do you have any holiday decorating traditions?
