Hello Friends! What a quick week this has been. Are you having a good one? When I was growing up, New Year's Day was officially the end of Christmas at our house. My mom worked full-time, and she used that day off from work to get her decorations taken down and put away. After she and my dad retired, they left the decorations up a little longer because they've always loved Christmas. Because we always get a fresh tree at Christmas, I could never bear to take ours down by January 1st and often left ours up until the middle of January. These days, I consider Epiphany (January 6th) to be the official end of the Christmas season. As much as I've enjoyed our decorations, I'm mostly ready to start taking them down for another year. Hal and I have another household project we are anxious to start (it's one we can do ourselves). However, I need to get most of the Christmas things put away first. I was disappointed not to share any pictures of our Christmas home this year, so I'm just going to share some now before I start taking everything down. I took a lot of pictures (as usual) 😏 but I'm only sharing my favorites. I hope you don't mind seeing a few more holiday images here in January.
