And So It Begins

The day after

Thanksgiving,

every year,

I begin the transformation.

I love nothing more than

to dust off the Christmas decorations

and to place them in their special places.

Those places may change from year to year,

but the decorations remain the same.

I add a few new ones each year

but the special ones remain.

Today, I'll show the kitchen.

I found this adorable garland this year

at Goodwill.  Not a recycled item rather

a brand new find.

It fits my country style perfectly.

Little baskets and other goodies are

scattered about

but the tree of the corner

of my counter is a new addition

to the kitchen this year.

Pinecones and acorns

adorn the branches.

By day.

By night,

with Santa looking on.

Have you started your decorating yet?

I would love to see it if you have!
