Saturday's goal was to pack up Christmas, no more early mornings by the Christmas tree, no more smiley 'tomtes' watching us eat, and the Christmas cards are safely tucked away in the 'to be prayed for' basket. Usually there is at least one or two things left behind when the last box is sealed up and stored away and this year was no different, although this item cannot be stored. Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree - which amazingly still looks nice - had to go. The large Christmas tree quickly became fire wood for the fire pit in the backyard and is no more, Charlie Brown's tree is still hanging out on the front patio.. none of us quite ready to let go, there is still some Christmas spirit left in the air. Maybe it is a gentle reminder to enjoy, cherish and hold on to some of the sweetness that comes with Christmas - time with family, leisurely lounging, laughter, sweet treats and fun.
