They cheer me during the long nights of winter. For the past several years, I've also strung them on the gazebo and I may do that this year as well. I do believe the decorations on the tree will be minimal; no dragging out all the old ornaments.sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-44726762287883959442012-12-02T05:59:39.799-06:002012-12-02T05:59:39.799-06:00Hi Darla,

Food, family, music are what make it special.sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-47057538935214699352012-12-02T05:58:12.489-06:002012-12-02T05:58:12.489-06:00Hello Mette,

I have just finished reading "Clearing out the Clutter," which I'll have more to say about in a future post, and the book has re-inspired me!<br /><br />One drawer! Wow, you've really got it down to the basics. sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-19860762708940591962012-12-01T22:30:26.656-06:002012-12-01T22:30:26.656-06:00Well, I always vote for not depressing yourself un...Well, I always vote for not depressing yourself unnecessarily, so why not leave the boxes this year? It's not like you have little kids who prefer the lights and and wreaths. You're doing nicely with the greens and getting new candles. Your house looks wonderful!

Special table cloths, set of red glass dishes, different center pieces. I like your idea of bringing nature inside, not familiar with Nandina but it is pretty.<br /><br />DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-23958226687524543422012-12-01T06:16:24.357-06:002012-12-01T06:16:24.357-06:00I´m all for a simple Xmas deco.
