Do not wrap the ribbon exactly like you wrapped the garland… offset it a bit. Now, you might be actually decorating!

And if you happen to be influenced… seize some shiny xmas ball ornaments and hang individuals on your garland all the way up the stairs. I guess you didn’t know your residence could look so lavish!

Now, I take pleasure in it when I appear home… and others can appreciate it when the go to. It is foolish and I love it!
