Though they be little, they be mighty. Succulents come in so many different colors, patterns, and varieties that they practically have built-in decorations that offer you the excitement of mixing and matching.

You can go the DIY route or purchase one online — it all depends on how green your thumb is.

So, gather 'round the fireplace with hot cocoa in hand, and bask in the splendor of your evergreen succulent tree, safe in the knowledge that you won't have to cart its dried-out body to the curb come January.

That's that we call peace and good will.
