I've never liked taking "Christmas down"....in fact I hated it, so much that it made me depressed. I didn't understand why such a giving and loving time of year filled with such cheer, anticipation, and beautiful lights and decoration everywhere had to end. So I promised myself that when I grew up, I'm still waiting for that to happen!....that I would keep Christmas up the way I liked it. I don't keep the tree, but I do keep various white lights up as well as sparkly things.
Here was Santa in the kitchen table was created on the spur of the moment when a friend said she was coming over for Xmas Tea. I keep a Moroccan Tea set
on the table as it is beautiful on its own, but I removed the pot to add a Xmas something....I looked around....
John said he heard some scuffling in the chimney on Christmas Eve and that he suspected we had a visitor. What he didn't know was that I enchanted Santa with my special Pixie Dust and shrunk him and captured him in my jar! Don't worry, I gave him some snow and fresh pine to make him feel at home and he won't know any time has passed.....such is the magic of pixie dust! And I will let him out just before Christmas of 2012 to do all that he has to do.....ok?? :D:D:D
I began to feel bad about keeping Santa captured, even with snow and pine for him, so I made an agreement with him......he will keep the Christmas cheer all year long for me, because I was kind enough to provide him with his comforts and I promised to let him go just in time to be Santa again.
And I so loved the white lights so much I decided to keep them/ So with Santa gone I had to replace it with something. For a few days I had the candles and my beloved giant gilded pine cones and I removed the pine branches and added the grape leaves I keep finding in the garden. For some reason they have me bedazzled of their beauty! I just love the way they glow in the lights....and they really look like this. Amazing.
Now I have removed the glitter candles and replaced them back on the mantle, and added my Garden Fairy.
And now the rechargeable batteries have died and it may be a while before I can take any more pics......and my beloved Pammie is waiting for her pics I promised! Just be patient Pammie! I promise you won't have to wait as long as I've been waiting ! LOL

So you see? Christmas is always whispering its magical presence somehow, some where in my house. I love it!
