I feel that, since it is the first post of the new year, I should start again with “Happy New Year!” We had a lovely and chilly first day of 2009, followed by a gloomy and damp second day of the year ~ but we’re traveling in hope!
We are taking our first poll on the blog today. When does your Christmas tree come down?? I’ve known people who keep a tree up year round – some in pleasure, some out of sloth. This year, although I purchased a selection of ornaments, and I really wanted to see the ice blue ones on display, I never got around to the part where you actually hang them on a, you know, Christmas tree. Well, it makes the post-holiday cleanup a breeze, and I have enjoyed visiting other people’s Christmas trees instead. I faithfully turned on my little ceramic tree every morning and evening, so I was not entirely without glow.
Wow – we have some fantastic pricing on Christmas trees right now – as I am writing about them, I just checked the shopping site, and it looks like they’ve all been marked down twice- I think they’re only this way online, not in the store.
I hope your year is off to a splendid start! We have exciting plans for 2009, and hope you’ll check in to see what’s happening both here and in the area, and get involved in some of our new adventures.
Life is good in 2009!
