Christmas Decor That Will Never Die

Ugly Christmas sweater parties are a hipster holiday tradition we can totally get behind, but tacky-on-purpose Christmas decor? No thanks. We’re erring on the side of modern (and ultra-glam) this season with plenty of metallics, ample sparkle and a whole lotta festive cheer. Ho ho hold the irony – it’s Christmas, after all.
