Christmas Ideas

So I was browsing on ways to update and add to my current christmas decorating plan, and came up with this awesome ideas! Here are a few simple ways to add a little flare to your decor without spending a whole lot.
And the last pic is of an advent calendar that can EASILY be made DIY. Just find cans of the same size, wrap them in paper, number them, and stick colorful tissue and ribbon on the top and fill with candy, handmade notes, little toys, etc.
I love this idea...something that can easily be changed from year to year.
