I hate taking down Christmas decorations. Ours are going to stay up for a while longer (it’s only the 9th day of Christmas, after all), but I’m still dreading the imminent boxing-up and cleaning-up that signifies the end of a holiday in the same way that a long and tiring drive home signifies the end of a vacation.
But I’m not even home from visiting my parents, yet! I’ll just share my decorations here and keep the Christmas celebration going a bit longer.
Sea urchin shell snowman and other natural elements.
Jute string for hanging Christmas cards.
Roses from the yard and my succulent tree.
Homemade advent calendar from Greg’s childhood.
Paper chains.
A juniper branch in a burlap-wrapped baby food jar. The entryway corner with our skinny branch/tree and Christmas countdown.
