We began taking down the Christmas decorations today. No more brightly lit snowman with
outstretched arms to welcome us home on cold dark nights. Now Mr. Snowman and
his little fawn friend are inside, tucked away under the basement stairs until
next Christmas. The outside
decorations, door wreaths, nutcracker princes, sleigh, santas and reindeer and
the browning greens in the living room are all gone. The Christmas decorations in the kitchen and den remain, but in
the living room the Christmas tree, with
the nativity scene tucked under its lower branches, is all that remains of
Christmas. It will come down tomorrow, on Twelfth Night. I will miss seeing it all sparkly and shiny,
brightening the corner with its cheerful lights.
