How Do You Deck the Halls?

Mommy, the stockings are up, Santa can come now!!

That was the joyous exclamation my four-year-old boy made yesterday when he came home from his play date and noticed that I had done a little holiday decorating while he was away. I love how simple little things, like hanging the stockings, can transform both a room and my mood.

What about you? How do you deck the halls? What is your favorite thing to put up?
