One final look at the decorations – they are all tucked away in their boxes for a long Winter nap. It’s amazing, really, how Christmas decorations expand while they are out of their boxes for a month. I had to buy another big storage bin for the weight they’ve gained.
I am in the mood to declutter and do some fresh, light decorating. I started with the mantel. Gave it a good dusting to get all the glitter off of it and redid it in pale greens and pinks and creams. I may end up actually moving all this into the bedroom to put on the mantel in there. And do something a little starker and cleaner looking in the living room.
Like all white vases. Or a row of hurricane candle holders. I’m not sure yet. I just know as much as I love decorating for Christmas I am just as happy when I put it all away and everything looks fresh and light.
