Our quad went all out. We actually decorated before Thanksgiving because we leave the 15th for break, so we wanted to have it up long enough to appreciate it.
Joy to the World - we were proud of this riggin!
My gnome Otty (shout out to Megan) dressed for the occasion and our candy-dispensing, movie-watching M&M's. Also our Christmas tree and yes, that is Ziggy dressed as Santa.

You can't have Christmas without the music!
This poster is the most beloved of our decor. On the left is Grant's spiderman stocking that I bought him and on the right is my batman stocking. Both are wins in my book.
Our stash for the cold days when we don't feel like going out.
This is of course the most important part of Christmas: celebrating Christ's birth. Rejoicing that God the Son humbled himself to become like us in order to save us. This is true humility. It is the reason to live. Without Christ nothing else matters. I love Christmas, but if Christ wasn't apart of it, then we would celebrate in vain. If Christ had not come we would still be enemies of God and the target for His holy, just fury. Thankfully, Jesus loved us so much (without us deserving) to come and take the wrath for his Father's glory. This is the reason to celebrate! God has just given us these other things as blessings. He is the ultimate gift. Merry CHRISTmas!
