Ah. The after Christmas decorating dilemma. I call it that, because everything seems so bare,  dark,  and almost Wintery sad when you pack away the tree. It seems like so much more of a chore when you go to put it all away,  rather than the excitement felt when unpacking it all to put up.

Small touches of pine and berries, snowmen, and some little trees are still a Winter decor “ok”, and using things you have are easy on the budget, and can add those cozy touches that come with Winter and the need to feel warm.

Turned around a Christmas themed pillow and this wonderful moose check was on the flip side. Added pine and red berries and it made a cozy feeling area with the added battery candle.  Some pine around a lamp base adds just a little something-something.

Old sled with a snow dusted wreath, skates, cut greenery from bushes outside, and your porch can still be winter cozy.  Lanterns bring a warm feeling too when lit at night.

Taking the lights off, I decided to keep this tree in a corner, with the burlap bag and galvanized bucket.  Fills the corner, and still feels Winter bright.

Little touches, things you have, and left over Christmas stuff can keep things from feeling dark, and create a warmth as we all await Spring.  Make your space yours. Home is wherever you are.

Santa may be on a beach somewhere and packed away.🎅

We’ll await the promise of Spring.🏡

Happy New Year!!
