I have always loved this idea of hanging icicle lights from a hallway ceiling. I may have to try it this year. See what I'm talking about right here from Nest of Posies.

This Snowman Door from The Creative Stamper Spot has always been one of my favorites. I've done it on the outside before, but I love how hers is on the inside.
