…Christmas is a lot about trends. One year you are supposed to fill your home with angels. The next year you have to fill it up with Santa figures of all sizes. The trend moves from shine brass to minimalistic glass. In between lilac, blue, red and white. So – what do I do? I am not known to follow the trends:)
Last year I did not open the door to the storage room containing the Christmas stash. Since I have been on a quest to declutter my home since early spring I am a little afraid of looking inside now. I know it is stuffed with Santa figures in there and I really don`t feel like loosing them, even if I don`t want to put them on display this Christmas. Seems like a lot of work to take it all out just to put them back in. But – that is what I need to do – because I need to find the things I want to use. Hm…
I need a plan.
I have been reading through the handout in Elisha Snow`s photography class and like all photo classes – it is all about light.
Template – Story teller, Tiffany Tillman, Little Shoppe Design. Paper – Sue Cummings.
It is dark when I go to work and this is what I get when I come home. Me – I like the blue one down in the corner. And I love Santa. Sometime I want them all over the place. No free space without a Santa. Just not this year.
I guess I have a plan:)

Really good point – I was just thinking about this today. When my kids were younger I kept thinking we would settle on “our” look, but it never happened. Now I’m immune to the changing styles/colors – but at the same time, I feel I never settled on what I wanted. As we go through the ornaments this year, I think we’ll discard those that never really made the cut! What will make the cut are lots of shiny silver, gold and red glass balls and the star my husband made of foam core and metallic wrapping paper.
