The topic of that table came up again as we were idly looking around a big furniture story during our break. It is a very handsome and versatile piece.

How fun that you stretch the bits of red into Valentine’s day. It is amazing how clean and spare the room looks once the tree is gone. I just took down all the Christmas cards today. I tape them up in a collage-like arrangement so that we can enjoy them fully.

Thanks so much for popping by my blog. Your blog looks like a great place to dig into.

That is good advice from Grandma! And I do enjoy the transitions from season to season–I do change up little things in the house–but our tree is still up! We got it up late, so I’m still enjoying it. At least our stockings came down!

I love to decorate for every holiday but like the decorations to disappear immediately once the holiday is over! Many years I’ve taken down our Christmas tree December 26.

You know, I love decorating, but never seem to do much beyond Christmas…perhaps it should be a New Year’s resolution for me

Love the little photo album…

I was just thinking about adding some red touches to the house when I was taking Christmas things down yesterday. I rarely decorate for Valentine’s Day, but I think I might just add a bit of red here and there.

Hi Cathy (and other commenters!) Our white lighted Christmas tree is up 24/7/365, and I put out other decor sparingly. I see the dust and I don’t care! I’ll get to it soon. Maybe. I used to put out lots of holiday decor when the kids were home but now that it is me and the husband I do minimal decorating. Our longtime house cleaner retired and I have never found an adequate replacement, so it is all me!!!
