We got rid of our big fake tree and gave a lot of decorations to my daughter and her husband. She loves decorating and from the time she was young always decorated our house to the max. This year I bought two little two foot lighted trees and put them on small side tables. I also put some other decorations out that really mean something to me but we’ve downsized quite a bit. A simple lighted wreath is on our door. I like it as I’m turning into a minimalist but I do miss the excitement of my daughter living at home and fussing over decorating but if we feel we’re all safe and well we’ll go to her house on Christmas Eve and spend the night. Starting new traditions. :) ColoradoGirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-44712818908830813192020-11-30T20:07:06.689-06:002020-11-30T20:07:06.689-06:00Sounds lovely!

I have always treated my decorations as permanent, and just added a few here and there (aside from my anomalous situation of working in a year-round Christmas store for 11 years!). I've been taking it slowly, so as to really appreciate it and enjoy the experience. <br /><br />Up until this year, Christmas has been about presents for my loved ones (husband, cat, mom, brother's family), and anything else like movies or decorating has been incidental to that. I do love "It's a Wonderful Life" and "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (my personal vote for the best adaptation of "A Christmas Carol"), as well as "A Christmas Story."<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the season - I look forward to seeing/reading about your special dishes.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-43830161473305045172020-11-30T15:49:30.047-06:002020-11-30T15:49:30.047-06:00I'm waiting for Dec. 1 to "make it Christ...I'm waiting for Dec. 1 to "make it Christmas" at my house. I don't add many new Xmas decorations each year, but for many years I would buy a new snow globe each season. It was a nice way to have a collection of something that didn't take up space all year long.<br />For me, December is a nice time to reflect on the last year and plan for the next. I'm not doing blogmas this year, instead, I am posting a series on how I do my annual personal review, reflection and planning.Erinhttps://www.zinzoecreative.comnoreply@blogger.com
