What's so wrong with having a Christmas tree up all year long, I ask?
Yeah, I still have all my stuff up, but it's more wintery than Christmasy, and I'm not tired of it yet. BUt, I suppose I should take it down while I'm feeling good, it could be up 'til April if I don't!
ReplyDeleteI love to put the small white sparkly lights on a big plant, or over the picture windows indoors, just for some glitter during the winter months. Especially since it gets dark so early.
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of strings of the new LED twinkle lights that we leave up until March/April time usually. This year we made paper snowflakes and sprinkled glitter on them which shine pettily in the windows... Alas I will be taking it all down sometime this week. The finality of moving just hit me... feeling a bit melancholy as I am going to miss my friends here. How is it possible for a person to be melancholy and excited all at the same time? I don't know either but I am! Unfortunately the procrastinator is coming out and nothing is completed!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know how thoroughly impressed I am with your accomplishments for the day!
(on a side note... a very old letter just got mailed today! We found it in a pile of mending. LOL)
