But, wait! I just glanced over at Merisi's reply and read about Candlemas. Yay, a reason to leave it up longer! :) <br /><br />I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful 2015, Vicki. <br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />VictoriaVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-12087690651842790372014-12-31T14:50:22.772-05:002014-12-31T14:50:22.772-05:00Your first photo is particularly magical.

I always have one or two special things that I'm not ready to put away so I find a special nook on a shelf to tuck them in for when I need a little of those sweet Christmas memories.danniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927115644696786196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-67536663309970834902014-12-31T11:00:56.344-05:002014-12-31T11:00:56.344-05:00Almost Happy New Year Vicki and to all on your blo...Almost Happy New Year Vicki and to all on your blog.Jimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938424282517586036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-10711596501091847992014-12-31T10:00:23.043-05:002014-12-31T10:00:23.043-05:00Yes, that would definitely be nice.

As a matter of fact. I'll make that my New Year's resolution. <br /><br />To be positive. To look to 'pay it forward'. To try to make it better for others.

The tree goes up on Christmas Eve and gets taken down on Three-Kings-Day, the 6th of January. In earlier times, when the tree was but a small one, standing in the unheated entrance hall of farm houses, the 2nd of February, Candlemas, was the day to take it down. <br /><br />Wishing you peace and love and everything else you wish for,<br />Hugs,<br />MerisiMerisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-32383696287788092772014-12-31T03:31:42.469-05:002014-12-31T03:31:42.469-05:00That would be nice!That would be nice!Ms. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263882972749791087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-53155043738038011652014-12-31T01:51:51.279-05:002014-12-31T01:51:51.279-05:00"the spirit of giving and the promise of Peac..."the spirit of giving and the promise of Peace on Earth"<br />Yes I cherish these words whose meaning seems to have less effect on mankind year after year but I keep faith.Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-31688303549164949492014-12-31T01:07:42.469-05:002014-12-31T01:07:42.469-05:00It would be nice.
