Christmases Past

December 27, 2017

Christmases Past

And just like that Christmas has come and gone.

The presents have been opened.  The guests have all gone home.  All the holiday madness and stress and to-do’s have been taken care of.

It happens so fast, doesn’t it?

I always get a touch of the post Christmas blues, but this year it seems to be worse than usual.  To be honest, I think I’m going to miss the distraction of Christmas almost as much as the holiday itself.  For one month, I was able to throw myself into shopping, and baking, and houseguests, and wrapping, and silly movies.  For one month, I could focus on something other than heartbreak, and being alone, and all the pain and scary unknowns that come along with it.

Christmas Home Office

Christmas Home Office

Where do you usually wrap all of your Christmas presents?

I typically clear off the coffee table and do my wrapping in the living room, with rolls of paper and ribbons and tags scattered all around me on the floor.  But this year I thought I’d try something new and moved my wrapping supplies into my little home office.

Cozy Christmas Living Room

Cozy Christmas Living Room

When one of your best friends flies in for the weekend from D.C. and you find yourselves on the couch, in your pjs, gabbing away by eight o’clock every night it can only mean one of two things:

A) You’re getting old

or

B) You’re living room is feeling too cozy this Christmas to be bothered to leave.

I’m guessing it’s option “A”, but I’d much rather like to think a little bit of “B” played a factor too.

If You’re Interested in the Art Print From Today’s Post…

Hi guys!

I had a few inquiries today about where one may find the beautiful art print from my earlier post.  Unfortunately, they are not available online, but I did reach out to my friend Janet (shop owner of Lucky Junk) and if you are interested in purchasing a print of your own she would be more than happy to order for you.  Yay! 😀

Simple and Cozy Christmas Mantel

Simple and Cozy Christmas Mantel

Happy Monday!

I had an entirely different mantel set up this Christmas season, and then I visited a holiday pop-up shop hosted by Lucky Junk over the weekend and fell in love with the most perfect piece of Christmas art.  It was so very in tune with the rustic, woodland vibe I had going on this year that I just had to bring it home.

You know how that goes, right?
