We were able to save many of these decorative items from the storm and I have been anxious to decorate again. Pulling everything out, however, I soon realized that nothing fit the way it had before. I knew just where I liked the angel and the barn and the nativity. But none of those places exist anymore and I am facing another adjustment.
Somethings have quickly found a new placement, some are continually being moved as I try to find a place where they can "belong," and some have been put back in their boxes until next year. Apparently, I can only adjust so much at one time.
One change that I am excited about, is the ability to show off the quilt that was a wedding present, made in a poinsettia design and color. In our fourteen years of marriage, I have never really been able to display it and am looking forward to friends and family coming to visit and admiring this incredible gift.
What is your favorite tradition for the holidays? I would love to hear about it!
That really is stunning. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the day, hopefully, to once again be able to join you for your Christmas Tea. As long as Glenn is working on Sundays, and my boys don't get along well enough to leave them alone, I will miss it. I think of it every year, wishing.
