I remember some snowy Christmas times when I lived in the UK. In New Zealand we are mid summer almost and hot and humid in Auckland. I guess that may seem strange to you. Instead of hot turkey we have cold and lots of salads.<br /><br />Your home is lovely, thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Lee :)Lee Caroline - A World of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775174736286159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-3716980657099762922012-12-30T19:03:46.620-07:002012-12-30T19:03:46.620-07:00Such a lovely and serene post.

I've found since my retirement, that I have "time" to relish my days filled with family, friends, and home! Always my favorite times are early morning by the light of only the Christmas Tree with my devotional, coffee and Christ! Thank you for this moving post. Have a Happy New Year, dear friend!<br />Fondly,<br />PatOn Crooked Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194554531505722292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-90941866329761791392012-12-29T07:38:18.503-07:002012-12-29T07:38:18.503-07:00Happy New Year Jacqueline

I am still all Christmassed here and probably will be until Jan. 1st. I did put a few things away tonight just for a change and may do a white and woodsy feel once the tree is down. So much work! Oh well. We are getting a terrible blizzard here again tonight and tomorrow. Up to 25 cm. which would be abut another foot! It's winter after all. Blessings for the New Year to you and yours.

We just have 2 kids, no grands, and no family nearby so we have created our own new traditions.<br /><br />I like your idea of an undecorated tree left up for awhile. All my decorations are down, but I think I might go out and find little tree today.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely post.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-85456204885116595472012-12-27T07:29:01.791-07:002012-12-27T07:29:01.791-07:00The days after Christmas can be filled with loneli...The days after Christmas can be filled with loneliness.

My heart is needing the rest after a long year. The tree came down, but my little one is potted and the others are scattered around--winterizing instead of christmas colors. Adore your paper--what a find! First thing I thought was framing each scene or a wonderful mixed media project. Thankful for finding your blog a few months ago.

I will just keep sweeping and leave them for at least another week. I can't imagine using that beautiful paper to wrap anything up, although I suppose there are ones that would. Not smart ones, though!.

She doesn't understand why the rest of the world doesn't do that. <br /><br />It's so cute, really - when we visit before or after Christmas we always ask her where they are now. <br /><br />Anyway, you just enjoy the season and its peace it is giving you.<br /><br />I LOVE that Celtic Christmas CD - I am a huge fan of the Windham Hill label, been since they came out, gosh, mid 80s maybe? I know I bought their first one and played it forever since. My Mom loved it too. You know I haven't played that one in ages. I need to organize my music and locate it.<br /><br />Anyway, I am babbling, sorry.<br /><br />Happy New Year!
