Christmas decorating for a small apartment?

Go to hobby lobby and the dollar store and get a inexpensive decorated christmas wreath, christmas stockings and garland and wrap with a small string of mini lights. Hang the wreath on the wall and swag the garland along the wall under the wreath, then hang a christmas stocking inbetween each swag on the garland, -sort of what you see on fireplaces

Walmart has these really cute christmas pillow/throw blanket sets, something nice and festive for the sofa and the kids would also like them and not told hands off : ) http://www.walmart.com/ip/Holiday-Pillow-and-Throw...

If you can put small nails in the walls you could get some pine garland (inexpensive at the craft stores this time of year) and hang it in shallow swags along the top of the walls around the room. You could string them with small lights and/or hang additional decorations from them or tuck in imitation flowers and berries and pinecones. Everything will be up out of the way of the little ones, and give your room a cohesive look and dress up an area that most people don't think to decorate. I do it every year and everyone always loves the look.
