Christmas is our favorite time of year! If you live in the dorms or in IV, here are a few tips and tricks that will help you get into the festive spirit! Get ready to decorate and leave milk and cookies for Santa!

We all know how hard it is to find space to decorate during Christmas. Designate a space in the living room to temporarily place a Christmas tree or even a mini one. Find yourself with limited space in the dorms? Place a mini Christmas tree in the corner or on top of your fridge! (Hint: Place a tree scented freshener next to it to help your place smell like pine needles!)
2. Lights, Lights, and More Lights

Warm blankets are an essential part in making any house a home (or in some cases dorms). Buy some festive winter blankets. These will put you in the holiday spirit as well as keep you warm as the temperatures drop! There’s no better way to enjoy the cold (sometimes rainy!) winters than to keep warm under cozy blankets.
6. Mistletoe
