An urban Christmas

When you live in small spaces like, say, an upper-level condo, you gotta make do with what room you have. And decorate around it, like getting creative for the holidays by nesting a small (preferably skinny) artificial tree in some nook, wrapping red beads around a year-round crystal lamp, and dangling ornaments and lights from exposed loft pipes, windows, and staircase railings. And don't forget about those awesome yule log videos on your tv, the next best thing. An instant dose of holiday decor for the city dwellers at heart...
