This year I had full intentions of keeping up the cozy vibes at least through January, bare minimum. \u00a0We took the ornaments off the tree and left it up as our “winter tree.” \u00a0I kept all the greens on the stair rail and outside on the front porch and for a few days I pretended it was just so cozy and wonderful and winter.<\/p>\n

Well, no one really needed to pretend it was winter. \u00a0Virginia is so unpredictable. \u00a0One winter it’s so mild you wonder if you will even get one snow. \u00a0One day it’s twenty-eight degrees and two days later it’s sixty-two. \u00a0But this year we’re definitely having winter. \u00a0Two big snows already and a few days of sub-twenty temperatures.<\/p>\n

But the cozy factor started failing before we even hit January 15. \u00a0Suddenly the house seemed too full, too overtaken by falling needles, and too much everything.<\/p>\n

It’s still winter outside, but we’ve reclaimed empty space and whites and neutrals and it feels like I can breathe again. \u00a0I’m pretty sure hot chocolate tastes just as delicious with tulips on the table!<\/p>\n

Do you decorate for winter or get rid of Christmas decor within days after it’s over?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
