Today is the perfect day for the after Christmas clean-up. It is cold and snowy outside. I slipped out long enough to take a couple of pictures of the beautiful snow. The snow flakes are really big and fluffy. We are not going to get much snow but I will enjoy it while it lasts. I have figured out that if sit on my bed I can hook up to someones wireless Internet. I only hook up long enough to upload a few pics from my phone to my Face Book page. I would feel too guilty to stay on any longer.
I will be taking down all of my Christmas decorations in the next few days. I took my outdoor decorations down this morning in the cold snow. Good thing I didn't have much to take down. I know some people like to keep their decorations up until New Years or sometimes even longer. Not me, I want my down as soon as possible.
When will you be taking your Christmas decor down? Do you do it as soon as possible like me or are you one to hold off for as long as you can?
Coming up this week if I can get my daughter away from the computer long enough to hop on for a bit~ I will tell you about some of my fave Christmas gifts.
Happy Clean-up, V.
I will be taking my decorations down the next two days as well. Most of the stuff ended up in my craft room. I will need another day cleaning up that room. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteHi Adsila
ReplyDeleteI hope to be finished with mine by weeks end.
Happy New Year to you as well, V.
Queenie in Arizona sayes brrrrrrr! :o)
ReplyDeleteStay warm
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
You are so lucky to have snow at the moment. I wish it would snow here. It has been too warm for the white stuff yet... Love your photos. They make me think of Narnia!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm always glad to remove the Christmas decorations as soon as possible. I am not a very Christmas person. I will be glad when New Year is over too! ;-)
I hope you have a wonderful 2012.
Best wishes,
Jo.x
Hi Vivienne,
ReplyDeleteMy decorations will come down on January 1st. It's a tradition to listen and watch the New Years concert from Vienna, Austria, while cleaning up the decorations in this house. Nothing better then cleaning up while Johann Strauss waltzes are playing ; )
Hugs and please can you send us some of your fluffy snow ???
I have always taken all the christmas stuff down on new year's day. And since we just put the tree up on christmas eve, I sure as heck am gonna leave it up for a few days,lol! We want to hear about your christmas gifts, okay!!?? have fun cleaning.
ReplyDeleteHi Queenie
ReplyDeleteJust went for a winter wonderland walk. Yes, it was a litlle brrrr, but now I am nice and warm in my home.
Winter Blessings, V.
Hi Joanne May
ReplyDeleteThank you for liking my pictures. I just got back from a walk and took a few more. i will post them some time this week. They are from a little patch of woods nearby.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't wait for the holidays to be over. Way too much stress this year.
I hope 2012 is just as wonderful for you. Winter Blessings, V.
Hi Moncha
ReplyDeletei used to do it on JAn. 1st but I'm going to a friends New Years Eve and don't think I'll be up to doing much New years Day. LOL. Your tradition sounds wonderful.
I'm wishing you a little of the white fluffy stuff. hope it heads your way soon.
Winter Blessings, V.
Hi Robin
ReplyDeleteMine has been up since Thanksgiving Day. My girls like to put it up as soon as they can. Of course it is up to me to take it down. I can understand you wanting to keep yours up a little longer.
Winter Blessings, V.
I'm starting to take it down, but definitely by this weekend. We didn't put too much up anyway.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great. I'm wondering if I can't enlarge one and tape it to my window... we have NO snow here. Having a warmer than usual winter here in northern Ill. (^;

Hi Lorelei
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't get any of this snow. I'm right next door in Indiana. This is only our second snow, our first caused a lot of damge. This one is mild. We have been warm here as well. Almost spring-like on some days. I'm sure you will be getting snow in no time. Until then I'll just keep posting pics for you.
Winter Blessings, V.
I have to admit to hanging on to my decorations for as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteThey've been up since Solstice, and we keep them until after January 1st.
Wish we could have some snow! It has been 17deg C here, so not much hope of that!
Happy New Year :)

Hi Ygraine
ReplyDeleteI know that if I would decorate later I would keep them up past Jan. 1st. It's going to be warm again on Thursday so this snow will not last. The weather has been a little strange so far this winter. Hope things get back to normal for Mother Nature.
Winter Blessings, V.
What a strange Winter were having in Scotland - normally outide here would look a lot like your pics , but it's been all gales and rain!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading about your gifts...
Witchy books?
xx
I'm with Robin, I always wait until New Years, actually the day after New Years to be exact! I have off that day usually, so I take everything, tree and all down then.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kim
I will leave my "last minute" display up till the new year then remove the "Christmasy" things down .... but I think that I will keep the rest up.... I like my new "Lamp"... Best wishes to you Lady Moss and Holiday greetings from your friend
ReplyDelete....the Doctor
Lovely snowscapes!
ReplyDeleteHi Magickafoot
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been strange here in America as well. I'm not sure what is going on with it.
Witchy books and tarot cards are the gifts I will share.
Winter Blessings, V.
Hi Kim
ReplyDeleteI think it just didn't feel like Christmas this year with both of my girls gone. I hope next year wil;l be a little better. I just want it over with for now. Yule was so much fun that i hope that will be our new tradition for years to come. Maybe then Christmas won't feel so lonely.
Winter Blessings, V.
Hi Dr. Theda
ReplyDeleteThere are a few things that I am thinking of keeping out for a while. I like my porch when it is lit up with tiny little lights so i might try to find some white lights to put up for a wintery look. I hope you enjoy your "lamp" you should keep it up all year round.
Winter Blessings my friend, Lady Moss
Hi Medieval Muse
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm very happy you like them.
Winter Blessings, V.
We're finally getting some snow in SE Michigan right now!
ReplyDeleteMy indoor decorations are in the process of coming down now. But the tree and the outdoor stuff came wait until the New Year.
Hi Lisa
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are getting a bit of snow. I'm just the opposite. My outdoor decorations are down, I'm still working on the indoor ones.
Winter Blessings, V.
Hello my special friend! We are like you! Everything has been cleaned up and packed away! Mom and I like doing it right after Christmas, if we can. I love the snow pictures! We got some snow last night! Hopefully I will put some pics up too ;o)I had problems with my computer yesterday and then I deleted all my e-mails!! Not fun!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBlessings my friend ;o)
Hugs, Stacy
Lucky you, getting snow! I love the pictures you took of it. We haven't had any snow here since December 15. It's been horribly cold, though, so it's still on the ground.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably take down my decorations down the week after New Year's.
Blessings, Victoria
Hi Stacy(MLC)
ReplyDeleteSo happy that I am not alone. Good to hear you are getting some snow. It just wouldn't be winter without it for some of us. I saw somne crows yesterday and gave them a message to send to you. I hope they gor it to you. (Love you)
Hugs and Love my friend, V.
Hi Victoria
ReplyDeleteI'll take the snow over horribly cold. I like cold but not that cold. I'm happy you liked my pictures. I have one more that I will share soon.
Blessings, V
We are taking out inside stuff down today and I am hitting the outside stuff Friday..... that is why I am barely on the blog space anymore.... hope to get back in the swing soon!
ReplyDeleteHi wicKED
ReplyDeleteWith the holidays and such I haven't been as much either. Hope to you you and others back on blogger real soon!
Have fun with the clean-up, V.
