When it comes to Christmas decor in Lithuania, the magic doesn't stop at the front door of an apartment. Often, it spills into the hallways, where it immediately becomes everybody's business. A team sport of "Deck The Halls," if you will, in which neighbors contribute whatever they have on hand.

There's an entire corner of the internet showcasing the good, the bad and the downright scary times people have decorated their apartment building stairwells or halls in Lithuania.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of the best - and worst - to remind you that creativity can thrive anywhere, even on peeling paint, under flickering lights or amongst mismatched tiles.
