How I hate to take down the Christmas decorations. Each January it is tough to say goodbye to the green, silver, and red.
My sweet reindeer, resting comfortably once more in their basket in the attic. The tree lights are dimmed and my little evergreen is outside in the cold.
Two weeks of warmth, joy, and freedom rushed by. Monday it is back to normal. Back to work.
But I’ll keep on lighting candles throughout the year! And I put my two friends on the left on top of my bookcase. They’re inseparable! And too cute to be stuffed away.
Welcome to January. 😀

I’m always up first and it delights my heart to switch the tree on and have it twinkle at me first thing. 🙂 🙂 I was going to take it down today but at 11 last night I decided the time had come. So bare this morning so I’m happy to look at your pretty tree. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.

That magical moment when the house is quiet, and it’s just you and the merry tree. Twinkling lights and a festive mood. How I love that too.
Only 11 more months to go, Jo! 😘
Have a wonderful Sunday, week, month and year. Dutchie hugs.

I believe it’s bad luck to keep your decorations up after twelfth night but as I don’t know when twelfth night is I have taken ours down already.

In the Netherlands, it is custom to take down the decorations no later than Epiphany, so January 6th. We both made it in time!
