After the holidays

After the holidays are gone the emptiness comes.

OK, I just now finished putting my Christmas decorations up. Yes this late! I couldn't bring myself to disassemble the Christmas tree because I thought it looked so pretty.

It wasn't big, nor new, nor pre lit (which I'll have one of those next season) but I poured my heart and soul into decorating it. I know its not a designer style tree or anything like that but to me it looked pretty darn good.

This particular tree has been in my possession for about 5 years, it was not new when I got it and it didn't cost me a penny but it's time for it to go.

So... I thought to celebrate its last year of life I would give it a little more glamour to its decor, and the result is here so judge for yourself, (nicely if you don't mind) hehe.

 
I love putting everything out. The tree, the lights and all the other small trinkets I spread all over the house. I just simply love Christmas.

But now all is gone back into the boxes they belong... sad, and the house looks empty.

To me it seems as if the holidays bring a extra amount of everything. There's more happiness because of the decor, the music, the smell of the season, the spending time with family and yes, the spending of money which sometimes I tend to over do. (that's not included in the happiness) 

But hey! it's just once a year! what's the big deal? I must now find something else to spread around to make it look decent again.

The effort was worth it, it always is, even doing the whole thing on my own. (no help here)

Any who, I just wanted to share the last picture of my tree with you all.

The best for 2014.

Peace.
