I told you guys it would take me well into the New Year to finish sharing my holiday decor, didn’t I? Ya… true story. We are still on NBT here (newborn baby time) so expect EVERYTHING to take 3 times as long as it might for most normal folks! In fact, as I am writing this, I am actually mentally prepping to begin the final takedown, which I never ever enjoy. I don’t know about you guys, but I adore how my home transforms for the holidays. There is something so very magical about those warm twinkly lights and most of the time I wish it wouldn’t be weird to leave them up year round. I suppose that is why I might have created crafty projects this year, that have those particular twinkly lights (here and here). Perhaps I was actually thinking ahead to this moment in time when I start to mourn the loss of Christmas! Or.. perhaps it was just a happy coincidence (definitely), but either way it does make the occasion a tad less sad! Yipee…
