After Christmas
Hello friends, just like that, it’s after Christmas…sigh, it goes so quickly. I hope you all had a very happy holiday. It was extra special for us this year. Having all 5 grandchildren with us to celebrate was so amazing!!
We have Christmas brunch at our house every year, then our daughter and her family go to her inlaws home for Christmas Eve dinner then on Christmas Day they are all at home. It has worked well for all of us over the years.
A little trick I do for setting ( not a tablescape) our Christmas Eve Brunch table. I add little scraps of paper identifying the dish to be used for each yummy breakfast food.
Did you have a white Christmas?
We had the promise of snow, but…no snow ( insert sad face here).
When do you start taking your Christmas Decor down?
I have everything down and back to “normal decor” before New Year’s eve. I like to welcome the new year with a tidy and organized home.
Is it just me, or does it take a lot less time to “un-decorate” your home?
I use the “take-down” to organize a bit as I go along.

Did you go to any After Christmas Sales?
I have a few things on sale in my online shops. Grab a cup of ” fill in the blank” and do a little after Christmas shopping from my shops. What word did you use to fill in the blank, coffee, tea, or hot cocoa?
I hope you enjoyed this year’s Annual Season of Giveaways. If you missed any of the giveaway winners you can see the list HERE. A new giveaway will start in January!
What do you do on the days after Christmas and before New Year?
“May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He let His grace shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-6:26 NIV
Great idea to get out the dishes ahead of time to plan your serving dishes.
Happy New Year!

We had 70 degree weather for Christmas! The second warmest Christmas ever, here in St. Louis! I loved it, and it made me think I could really get used to living in a little warmer place. My husband is a fan of leaving the decorations up for a while, so ours are still up and probably will be for a few days. I think it makes him sad when they come down! I’m a little like that too, but this year I’m a little more willing to get on with it. I love your idea for identifying the dishes. Happy New Year!
Ha! I filled in the blank with “Egg Nog!” 🙂 So glad you had your family with you Katie! Your brunch menu sounds delicious! Happy Almost New Years!
I wish I had someone to undecorate for me!
I like putting up the Christmas decor, but taking it down is refreshing, Takes almost no time to take down bc I have no decisions to make (like where is this to go?). Happy New Year.
