Holidays in a NewHouse

Like any couple that has been together for 30+ years, we have special ornaments, lights, and decorations. Some stay safe in their boxes, others need to have a home for the holidays where everyone can see them. Having a new home means finding a new place for everything.

You would think with more room the choices would be easier, but no, not really. If we had moved in August, I would have had more time to figure it out, but we moved in November and I am still deciding where I want the silverware. So for this year we are setting things out knowing that, where it is may not be the best place, but at least we get to see everything, unpack our treasures and handle our memories.

I can’t help but feel sorry for all those people who have survived disasters; fires and other house destructive events and lost all their decorations. It is never the value of items, it is the memories associated that makes them treasures of the heart. Happy decorating everyone, May your memories be as sweet as ours and as filled with laughter.
