I know the feeling of being away from family at Christmas. We have been in Germany most of the last 22 Christmases. Fortunately, we have friends who have become like family, so it's not too bad.
One year my wife and I were in a hotel room, waiting for a house to become available on 1 January. No room for a tree or other decorations.
A few days before Christmas, I cut a pine tree shape out of a large sheet of paper, colored it up, added cut-out decorations from wrapping paper and we put that up on the wall. It served well for two weeks, didn't take up too much space, and gave a Christmas to remember.
You may be separated in distance from friends and family, but with the internet, you're just a few keystrokes away.
