I've changed my mind.
I know I said that I was reducing the amount of Christmas decorations this year. But I started to set up the simpler version and looking at the remainder of the decorations in their boxes, filled with memories of Christmases past I couldn't stop at just the balls and the beads. I couldn't not use my children's decorations, the tree decoration in memory of my dad, the hand carved santa's gifted to me by a special friend and the handmade quilts and soft handcrafted Santa.
I set up all of the decorations that meant something to me and our family. There is still no front door decoration or lights along the verandah to announce to all that we are celebrating Christmas here....the celebration and decoration is inside with our family and I am glad I chose this year to embrace our Christmases past.
Thanks for visiting,
