Even though folks residing in the deserts of the Southwest don't often experience a white Christmas, we're glad to see they're still thriving with holiday cheer — especially when it comes to their outdoor spaces. See where we found this creative use of ornaments after the jump.

We found these decorated cacti in Tucson, Arizona while cruising around Flickr this morning. Sometimes it's easy to forget through the holiday season, that not everyone's holiday traditions involve shoveling snow and frolicking through a winter wonder land!

Do you have any holiday traditions that might seem a little out of the box in comparison to the Mid-North Western states? Sound off in the comments below!
