I got a little crafty this Christmas and wanted to share:
I started by making this guy to hold our holiday cards. I got a frame (well, and the picture that went in it) at a thrift store, removed everything but the frame, painted it gold, strung some gold wire along the back, and decorated it with some gold garland. Then I got some little jewelry-making clips to clip on the cards. Voila! I like it. It is far better than last year's method, which was standing the cards up behind the menorah, which was asking for a house fire every time anyone breathed during Hanukkah evenings. I would also like to know why our menorah can't hold candles worth a damn.

I don't do a huge amount of decorating, but this area is the focal point. I have a small tree that I decorate, and some candles and an awesome reindeer. Also a lovely cat. Can you tell that his right ankle is shaved for an IV? Poor kitty. All I really want for Christmas is a healthy cat.
I got really, really excited about wrapping presents this year, and did them up fancier than usual. Observe:
