One of the things I miss most about being home during the holidays is being constantly surrounded by Christmas decorations. Like a Christmas tree donned with ornaments, stockings embroidered with the names of my family members, and of course images of Santa and reindeers everywhere. Being at college, we only get to see these things for the few days before Christmas when we go home. But with these easy Christmas decorations you can easily give your dorm room or suite that homey feel that we all love so much.
