Okay out with all the red, green, gold and glitter. It’s time to undecorate.
The tree is only partially done but I’ve gathered up all the other various bits and pieces of holiday litter (it starts to look like litter after 12/26) and put it away. I’m in the mood for white, cream and pale green.
Someone should have told my nose Christmas was over. It has just gotten into the holiday spirit and is doing its very best impression of Rudolph. I caught a bit of a cold during the festivities. My body betrays me like that – as soon as I have some time off of work it decides to come down with something. Never fails.
Well I should finish up the tree so I can vacuum up the last of the glitter. I think it’s time to undecorate when the ornaments start taking themselves off the tree. Every now and then a tired, dried out branch just can’t hold on to its ornament anymore and it slides off with a little thump on the carpet.
Happy Unholiday Everyone!
Your white on white display is lovely.
Having to take down all the ornaments is kind of sad, when it was so fun to put them all up.
Happy New Year
Very clean and simple. Love it. My house is still very much red and green and glitter!
I can’t bear it yet! I’m waiting another few days.
Your mantle is gorgeous! It reminds me of a beautiful wedding cake.
We tore down the holidays today. Its seems almost a relief for the soul to remove the old and bring in the new!
I love the white, cream & green. . . They are such a classic & peaceful combination!
Hope you have a happy new year Andrea!

Oh My Goodness – I can’t wait for this to happen in my house – and I’m hoping that tomorrow is the day. Clean and simple sounds wonderful right now.

We leave the tree and decorations hanging till 6 January. Then we celebrate three kings. Children are singing a special song and go from door to door collecting candy.
And then on the 7th I clean up the tree ( or what’s left of it)
I love “undecorating”…. everything clean and white. your mantel is just lovely.
Blessings to you and yours during 2008.
