Favorite Christmas Books Disappear for a Year...

This year I took Christmas things down slowly. The tree, up on Dec. 2 was squeezed out the deck door on New Year's Day leaving a blanket of needles on the floor, and drug to the campfire pit where we'll have a nice bonfire this winter. Today, two weeks later, everything else - but the cards on the window sill which stay up until Easter :) - came down. Lights, wreaths, Amy's nativity, Dad's special walnut nativity, and all the Santa's on my piano. And very last thing I did was put away the favorite Christmas books in a bottom drawer. I gazed at them and thought about the next time I open that drawer. A year will have gone by.... But for now, it's all promise and possibility! :)
