The Twelth Day of Christmas

 It's all over. The Mister took down the lights yesterday. It was 60 degrees. It was a good day to do it.


 My cupboards are bare. I took the cards off the top. The house looks weird now.


 It was a good year for cards. We got quite a few and they were all really pretty. I haven't tossed them yet. I'm not ready.

 I still have a small corner of the kitchen filled with holiday goodies that I'm still in the process of eating. I was so worried that I wouldn't have enough candy canes. It looks like I bought plenty.


 There are a handful of my favorite cookies left. They won't last long.


 I have almost an entire fruitcake leftover that I'm saving for a snowy day. They are actually calling for snow tonight but I'll believe it when I see it. They tend to get it wrong more often than not around here.

    Time for a new year. At least you have candy canes to keep you going.

    I like it when everything is put away and the house looks bigger again!

    I de-Christmased on the 29. I wasn't in a big rush, but I knew if I didn't do it while I had the energy, it'd still all be up in March.

    A tip for the Christmas cards - you can cut out the images on the fronts and use them as gift tags on next year's presents. Dave gets lots of cards from the kids, so that's what I do with all of them. I keep them in a big envelope with all my wrapping stuff.

    There are still a few decorations lingering here. Once everything is put away, it gives me a chance to redecorate a bit and change things up.

    Our stuff is put away as of today also, all except a giant poinsettia on the dining room table. Who knows how long that will last. Seeing your fruitcake reminded me that it's been ages since we've had any. Lucky you!

    I love how festive the last of your holiday corners feel from here. No more candy canes in this house, but I think the amount of chocolate that are from the holidays will keep us going through at least January!
