Holiday Decorating

Quite awhile ago, my friend Claire was describing the way her friends used to decorated their dorm room doors for Christmas.  They'd buy wrapping paper and bows and wrap it up like a big present.  I thought that sounded amazing, so we decided to do the same for our place. 

We have real candy canes taped up.  I suppose people could take them, but they're really old.

I, however, wasn't satisfied with that, so today, my friend Ruth and I ran around to dollar stores and bought more decorations to deck out my home.  It's nice to have little things to keep me in a cheery holiday mood as I slog through my finals.  Plus, my roommate might not be able to go home for Christmas, so I thought she should have a festive place.

I thought, since I hadn't really described where I live yet anyway, I'd share pictures of the results with all of you!
