miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project. our day to share stuff we don't share the rest of the week. bring on your miscellaneous!
it's the eleventh day of christmas! remember the twelve days of christmas? the actual holiday season beginning on christmas day and ending with epiphany in early january. i'm old enough to remember when christmas decorations didn't go up until after thanksgiving and that was only in stores. it was a big deal for the store decorations to be unveiled. it was a holiday activity to window watch and peek in stores to be awed by the excitement of the transformation. homes were decorated during the month of december; sometimes very close to christmas eve. christmas is lovely and wonderful to celebrate. however, it is disconcerting that christmas starts so early now and is over by the end of christmas day. wonder what the season would feel like if the twelve days of christmas were still observed?
last week's whimsical wednesday was preparing our 2016 whimsey journal. every day or every day determined, write a whimsical moment from the day in the whimsey journal. this can be a pocket planner or calendar, notebook paper, whatever you wish. i began mine january first. how about you? if you haven't already, it's never too late to begin to find whimsey in each day
We didn't get our tree until bro's birthday on the 21st. Now they would be all gone by then.
ReplyDeletedefinitely. of course that was the era of live trees. when they are put up at thanksgiving, they don't last through the twelve days of christmas!
