CHRISTMAS cages !

CHRISTMAS DECOR FRONT DOOR

I used these  " birdcage tea light holders " in the summer in our sitting area in the back yard.
John was putting the last of the outdoor things away yesterday - so I grabbed them before they were buried in the shed


and thought I would Christmasify them using left over bits and pieces of garland that has seen much better days.............in fact they were in a " trash " pile


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas................


I decided to decorate a little earlier this year and take advantage of the warmer weather...........usually I'm working out there when my fingers are so numb and cold they're threatening to fall off

John says - This is ridiculous Suzan - it's November - no one else on the street has their decorations up
Suzan says - I know - but I can't do it the cold anymore - unless maybe this year you think you could do it?
John says - Well.......I suppose it's not that early.

There's nothing like getting John to see my way of thinking like asking him to do something.

When everyone else is out there battling the fierce winds and biting cold and blizzards - I'll just tsk tsk and open a switch !  ( although those weather forecasts seems to be starting later and later in the year - last year in December - Montreal looked like Texas )  but if it happens ............................I'm ready !

And the decor is crying out for a light dusting of snow all over them

RED DOOR CHRISTMAS

I bought that plant at Home Depot............2 of them actually so that Christmas tree on the right side will be moved - it doesn't look " right " and I'll put the second plant in it's place.
I may even stick battery operated tea lights in the cages ( the ones with a remote )

Did I mention I'm in flip flops?

Ok - excuse me but I have windows - a lot of them - to hang wreaths on !
And then in December I can sing.............

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the decor is so delightful
And because I did it long ago..............
Let it snow
                Let it snow
                                Let it snow.

Have a wonderful day everyone
Hugs,
Me

I'm not ready to let go yet

I can't bear the thought of saying goodbye to Christmas yet - even though half of blogland is busy taking down and putting away -  I walk by my Tree and I think " Oh no, I can't throw you in the garbage, you need to stay for just a little longer....................


and how can I pack away all the glitz when I'm still in love with it all?






It can't possibly be over


When it still makes me happy to look at it


So I'm going to pretend it's still December 24th

for another week or so


until I'm ready

absolutely


positively



ready to let go


of the beautiful memories I have of this Christmas

Have any of you vanquished decorations from your home yet?
What happened to waiting  until Epiphany?
I always thought that was kind of like a rule, you know, as in you can't wear white after labor day, type of thing lol?
