This year there won’t be lights strung outside the house or a sparkling Christmas tree lit up in the corner of the family room. Stockings won’t be hung by the chimney with care and the wreath won’t be hung on the front door. In fact, many of the usual Christmas decorations that I cherish will remain in their boxes.
In 9 days we get the keys to our new house and a few weeks after, late into December we are moving. Sadly, decorating for Christmas this year is taking a back seat to the unpacking we’ll need to do as we settle into our new place.
But there are a few precious things that I can’t, and won’t, give up.
Lesson learned: Never decorate your gingerbread house under the bright lights of the kitchen. Good to know.
