Christmas is always a big deal in our house. When my youngest went far away to do her residency, she would not be able to come home for the holidays and she worked very long shifts at the hospital so she had no desire to decorate. I made her three little fabric trees (in her favorite shows fabrics- Dr. Who, Star Wars and Friday the 13th!) and a small flat centerpiece for her to sit her tablescape on. I also sent a tiny plastic reindeer that had been a favorite. Included was a small framed pic of all of us at Christmas. She loved it because it was simple to set-up, simple to 'take down' and to store and yet, it helped make the apt. feel festive. Many folks don't decorate because of the amount of work it usually involves and the storage of things later. If you give her a couple little things in a correct size box to use later, you may be surprised a how happy she will be.
