Last year I went through my decorations and gave away or donated a pile of stuff. Kept only the pieces that gave good memories. This year is the first that I looked forward to decorating. It is simply done and just perfect! As many will say or think... Christmas is not about the 'stuff' it's about enjoying and appreciating current and past friends and family... HUgs to you and Merry Christmas!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310776953824901110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703082281296359411.post-1937900100260639232013-12-10T22:33:37.052-07:002013-12-10T22:33:37.052-07:00Your Christmas sounds wonderful....

That's why I've been simplifying for years. No chores at all! If I feel in the mood, we will have a Christmas tree and some decorations. But if not, it's Christmas nontheless. Merry Christmas to you!Babajezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538344149217844113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703082281296359411.post-6263264583501954142013-12-07T16:00:22.206-07:002013-12-07T16:00:22.206-07:00I feel exactly the same way....the days of my plac...I feel exactly the same way....the days of my place not having a spot to put a decoration have<br />gone.

I think my Christmases used to be full of sparkle and now, like you, the idea of putting it all away afterwards really makes me depressed. But, as long as there is some sparkle, laughter and food, of course food! Christmas will be perfect xxsweetbriardreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036932595395191529noreply@blogger.com
