My ToDo list says take down Christmas this weekend, and we have moved in that direction. However, I’m not so eager to put it all away yet. My Dining room is still decked out for the holidays even if the Christmas tree has shed its last needles in my home as of today.
I hope your holidays were grand. We spent ours with family. It was pretty magical for the Princess, but I feel like the magic may have reached the end. No matter, Christmas will remain special, stockings will still be hung with care, Santa will eat his plate of cookies and somehow we will find that perfect gift for everyone.
Happy New Year everyone! 2021 was still challenging for many of us, but 2022 is a chance to start again and maybe embrace some of the challenges…I’m going to try!

Love your decorations! I still have my Christmas decor up, too. I’m still resting up from having a house full of adult children and grandchildren. The holidays were exhausting but also lots of fun.

I love Christmas but it does seem to exhaust me at times. January always Brings a sense of calm and newness that I also enjoy.

Thank you! This coming weekend will be the time it all goes down. Honestly, I do love the simple, clean look of after Christmas decor, but holiday decor really has my heart.

It’s so hard to say goodbye to the holidays, especially when you have children who are growing up way too fast! Thanks for sharing on Happiness is Homemade at LifeasaLEOWife.com. I’ve started a new link party to replace Traffic Jam Weekend called Crafty Creators. I would love to have you come share there as well! It’s open Thursdays thru Mondays.
