festive decorations



on twitter today i noticed lots of lovely folk that are desperate to take down all the festive decorations in there homes ..

i am not one of those people...




i totally get what they mean - christmas over and time to get on with a fresh new year, but i just adore all our decorations and this year we have a particularly beautiful kitchen tree...




i am holding out to the twelfth night and even then a few little pixies may remain out until Springtime :)

  1. The cards might come down before the 12th, they are jumping off the cupboard,or they are getting help from our 2 year old grandson. But the tree will stay until 12th night. Wonder if I'll get the right night this year?

  4. My decorations will stay up to twelfth night and beyond. I love my Christmas tree, I really don't understand the rush to take it down. Perhaps people shouldn't put it up in November and then they wouldn't be sick of Christmas before it even starts? I am grateful for the time-out that Christmas affords. Yes it can be stressy beforehand but the de-stressing over Christmas time is wonderful. The pretty decorations are part of that. I want to keep the magic - not send it out the door as soon as I can.
