How I love all the Christmas decorations ....

It always looks so bare when they all get taken down.

[Graham Thresher]

A lovely shot. I know exactly what you mean when the decorations are taken down.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Are the cards paper cuttings? They look nice on the shelf there with the old books and the rest of the Christmas decorations.

[Maggiemae]

Is it twelve days already? I agree with you but you just can't leave them there - it's too Christmassy!

[Sarah Bremner]

Looks lovely and what an interesting shelf of old books!

[Pat Knowles]

So do I Diana but glad they are all down today. We took our tree down as we bought a potted one this year so wanted to get it outside ASAP. Have put it in the outhouse to acclimatise first.
I always think beams & Christmas go together.

An interesting shelf and it looks nice in your house!

[Gerry]

very nice

[Karin Hirsch]

Nice photo and lovely old books

[Anne Mary]

I agree! I have the day off Monday as I have to stay in for workmen - they are all coming down then

[Judith Johnson]

I agree - I took mine down today, a bit early but I wanted to get back to normal.

[Rick Schies]

Yeah, and kind of sad, but then comes Spring

[Louise & Ken]

Oh that's so true, Diana! It takes a month (almost) to get it all put up and so little of the year to enjoy it! Perhaps you, as I do, like to photograph it all to hold the memory of it... Even this small space here is just beautiful!

[Julie Ryan]

very pretty; I like your decorations also

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I didn't bother this year but we be back with the decoration next year. Nice pretty capture.

[carol white]

Very pretty!!

[Pyrrhula]

There is a time to come, there is a time to leave. Nice decorations and books

[Carole Imes]

That's what I'm doing today and tomorrow. Everything is looking so bare. I love your book shelf and decorations. Very festive! Happy New Year!

[Beverly W Schmidt]

I agree. Some how the house seems a bit empty when they are all put away for another year.
