P365 - 2015 - Day 332 - be merry....
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care... along with all of the other decorations around the house. This weekend was phase one of the decorating - getting the house ready and the lights out. Next weekend will be the tree. I love decorating for Christmas and bringing out all of the old and new decorations - everything has a story and a memory. As I find a place for every little tree or Santa or angel I remember where it came from and how many Christmases it has been decorating my life. It's no wonder that phase one takes all day..... I love that Christmas is a season and not just a day. I love that there is almost a month to reflect on the special time of year and all of the memories it holds. I love that just decorating the house with some shimmering lights, lights up smiles on our faces and in our hearts. Much like Thanksgiving is a time to pause and remember to be thankful, Christmas is a time to be merry....
