Times were when I liked to
decorate the entire house for the
holidays . . . Alas, 'tis not to be!
Being somewhere around a 100
years old, I have the decorating
down to the dining room table
and the mantel. Still, it's fun!
Perusing and ordering tablecloths
from mail order as I hate to shop,
awaiting their arrival . . . and once
here, the decorating begins.
Dragging the holiday cheer, out
of a very dark closet, I begin to
play in the sand box, as it were.
Some items are a bit of old hat;
others are much loved mementos.
Mix and match, place and move
until everything works . . . wow!
Just WOW!
I like to give myself the last three
days of November for decorating.
It's rather like prepping and giving
birth to December. I love awaking
on that day, as excited as the child
within can be, looking around at
the room and feeling that holiday
excitement.
So love lighting a few candles,
putting on that old holiday music,
sitting on the floor and wrapping
my simple, little Yule gifts. 'Tis
well-pleased I am, to find my
inner kid alive and well!
reds and greens ahoy
announcing fave holidays
come lets make mischief
