It’s time

I left my Christmas decorations up an extra week. Slowly but surely they are all put away. The top photo is ornaments off of my large memory tree, every single ornament has a story, most have their own box or small sack. Bottom left are the second blooms on my Christmas Amaryllis, it has really been a joy this year. Bottom right is an antique China Santa my mother in law gave me 43 years ago. That’s a small wine cork Christmas wreath next to it. The house looks so bare right now.

You seem to have some very beautiful memories on that tree! Fabulous collage of your lovely decorations.

@ludwigsdiana my granddaughter wants me to write each memory down and put with the ornament. I’m thinking about a photo book with each ornament and it’s story. Just thinking at this point. Smile.

I was just wondering this morning if I was the only one left who hadn’t put all of my Christmas away yet. Like you, I have a lot of ornaments on my main tree that have their own story. None of them look as elegant as yours, however. This is a very pretty collage and a wonderful look into your Christmas. I especially like the Amaryllis and that.bokeh

Louann…I took Christmas down…all the ornaments off the tree and two outside trees at the front door. Then we got sick so the mess is still not packed away but is lined up in bags on the floor.
