It is January second and I'm starting to take down the Christmas decorations. Not the tree. I'm letting myself leave it up for another week or so. It transforms our living room and I'm just not ready to let it go. This year I got nice plastic totes from Costco to replace many of the cardboard boxes that have lived on our garage shelves for years. We will be able to see what's in there and they will keep things more dust-free.
Last night I had a purple bath with floating stars (don't you just love Lush?) and had the little silver anglaspel (rotating Christmas trees powered by a tea light) to heighten the mood. The little luxuries are the best! The anglaspel gets put away until next year. The Christmas red towels are in the washer as I write and will go into the lovely new totes when they come out of the dryer.
Part of the beauty of real flowers is in the fact that they last such a short time. I think the holiday season is like that also. Just one month out of the year keeps our holiday traditions always fresh and precious.
