It is sad when all the decorations are put away, @gems.and.cookies. But Valentine’s Day , St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are not too far away.
The custom here is the Christmas tree and decorations are taken down after New Year but I like the idea to leave them up longer.
Love the nativity scene. Your wife is inventive with the little lights in the bottle…really pretty.
Nice quotes.
Have a wonderful rest of the week, my friend. 🤗
Hi @redheadpei. Taking down the decorations feels so much like saying goodbye to an awfully good summer vacation just before school begins. But you're quite right. Valentines Day and Easter are just around the corner. We don't celebrate St. Patrick's day over here though my brother was named after him, being born on March 16. And guess what? This same brother now lives in Ireland with his wife and kids 😀
The tree is still up and is still lit every night. We'll see if we can make it last till March but am afraid if we do, we might not take it down anymore for the rest of the year 😂😂
Yes, those lights in the bottle look really good. Those lights were used last year to light up miniature Christmas trees my wife bought. She decided not to display the small trees this year and instead used bottles.
Thanks for visiting. Happy you liked the quotes. Wishing you the same wonderful week and weekend ahead 🤗
