Guilty...

Tell me I'm not the only one guilty of keeping a teeny bit of Christmas in the home...


I just couldn't resist leaving the greenery, pinecones and candles everywhere


and though the sheet music sings of Christmas they've stayed too...


even the mantle is untouched....with more greenery, candles and pinecones.....


and yes, a reindeer....


tell me I'm not the only one....

xo,

Abby

I still have the Christmas Village up. It's upstairs, and hardly anyone but me ever goes up there, so it's staying up until Valentine's Day. :p

My daughter is just taking down her last tree today-and I still have one favorite Santa left out. I have been leaving out things like tree branches..but now that the flowers are starting to sprout up I am thinking I want to get into the spring mode. All seasons are fun in their own way!

you're not the only one!

I'm guilty of the same. I don't see the point of removing it.
Your photos are lovely.

When Christmas is that pretty, it's no wonder it would remain out a little longer. I have all my candles out too and they will be until April.

HA! I just took my last thing down yesterday- unless I have missed something. Oh..wait.. I do have a floral arrangement that has all the right colors in it so I add a huge velvet box heart to it..and bling it up with some mercury and leave that out through Valentine's Day. xo Diana

You're not the only one...and your teeny bit of Christmas is so pretty. I have a Christmas cupboard and keep a bit of Christmas out all year round.

I still have some boxes of Christmas stuff to put away. They've been sitting in my dining room, just waiting to be lugged upstairs to the crawl space. But life around my house has been so hectic, with more important stuff to do. I even have a few things left out on the mantle too. I'm in no hurry either :) Birds of a feather...

You don't really have Christmas up as much as WINTER!

I have one tall evergreen vase planter thing with pinecones on my art niche, I have my Christmas Village tea house in a guest bedroom that doesn't look very Christmasy.....I just keep forgetting it b/c I am seldom in that room.....and I have pinecones and white candle on a brown metal tray in the downstairs half bath.

I have an entire box of Valentine's things I don't feel like putting out this year for some reason, may not......I LOVE what you kept out - and no you are not alone, heh heh.

Cute post.

I put a few of my favorite tree ornaments around the livingroom, and my special Christmas snow globe is still out. You are not alone.

Well you're definitely not the only one it seems. I still have the candles out (but then we do get a lot of power cuts here), the gorgeous red wooden hearts hanging on my doors and one little ornament which I can't bear to put away just yet - it might just stay there all year.

Guilty as charged!! Haha! I have a shelf of dusty Santas that always stay up, they are high in the foyer and I can't reach them, so there they stay! I also hung two, plain green wreaths in the living room, they just have white bows and I like them, so I believe they will stay as well! Your decorations are so wintery I think you are safe!! I adore your candles, they are gorgeous!!!!! May I ask where you got them? Oh, and it's not decorations, but I listen to Christmas music year round... I don't know why, I just love it and especially when I'm creating something, I turn it on...
Have a serene Sunday!
Hugs,
Teri

I have ONE transferware pitcher that still holds a small bunch of blue spruce, green holly, and green & white ivy. My excuse is that it seems "wintery" ... and it's nice to have something green and alive from the garden in the house at this time of year!

I just put my Christmas decor away, last weekend, you're not the only one! Yours was lovely!
But now we can enjoy hearts and then Easter will be here before we know it!
Joy! Linda
