Best Advice: Play Holiday Music

The great thing about music is that it extends beyond the small four walls of your dorm room and creates an inviting atmosphere for the entire hall. It doesn't have to be loud or obnoxious, but a soft tune in the background can be quite relaxing and entertaining. There is a vast assortment of Christmas CDs at almost any music store, so you can select the style that you like the best. In addition, you can continue to create this warm environment by buying a scented plug-in that has a cinnamon or apple aroma. This will surely welcome any visitors to your dorm room.

Share the Fun: Include Your Friends

Stringing popcorn can be a fun evening activity for everyone in your residence hall. This might be more appealing to girls, but guys might even jump in on this craft. Unsurprisingly, popcorn is a staple in most dorms and it is inexpensive, so use it to spread holiday cheer. Once the strands of popcorn have been created, you can hang them across windowsills and doorways. This activity provides a way to get into the Christmas spirit and socialize with your friends at the same time. For safety reasons, make sure that the strands of popcorn are not near any flammable surfaces or heat vents.

Design with Ease: Use Simple Decorations

A small Christmas tree with miniature ornaments can be just as cheerful as a big tree. Most craft stores offer these miniature trees in decorated form, so you can purchase the finished product if you don't want to decorate it yourself. In addition, Christmas tree lights always create a vibrant holiday atmosphere. Many craft stores and discount stores carry peel off Christmas window stickers that you could adhere to your outside windows. Typically, they can be removed by just peeling them off the glass surface. You could also make big paper ornaments, Christmas trees, or snowmen and place them on the outside of each individual door room door. Your hall mates could take turns writing a favorite Christmas memory, song, movie etc. on each other's paper door decorations.
