The day after Christmas, all my Christmas
decorations were stacked away; including the large Christmas tree I had in our
family room and the two smaller ones in front of our two front windows.
As much as I love all the Christmas
lights, I was already getting a bit anxious as it was... even with the minimal amount of clutter Christmas
creates in my home. Our living room is about the only place in my house I
decorate a bit, aside from the two smaller Christmas trees I am now placing in front of the windows.
It was so easy to put everything
away! It only took me around ½ hour or
less. This is the joy of keeping things simple
during the holidays. I love seeing our living room
back to its simple normality…
Do you go overboard on your Christmas decorating? I guess there must be something wrong with me, for I fear overcrowding my house... I could never understand those who
like overdoing it with Christmas decorations for the holiday; or any other holiday
or day. We see way too many pics of beautiful
homes where owners love to stack thing on top of things, and one just have to wonder
sometimes how in the world can these people walk around their houses without
bumping into things or not going nuts… their homes make me think of an antique
shop or a cozy pretty place where you just want to go to shop, but never want to
stay.
It is just me, I know. But while it may be tempting to
completely cover your rooms wall to wall in regalia, doing so
can actually detract from your overall aesthetic, me thinks!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a lovely New Year! Much happiness to you, and yours!
