Social media has been full of posts describing friends' taking down their Christmas trees, packing away decorations, starting fresh for the new year.
Not me, not yet. I'm still enjoying the tree, loving the lights and ornaments. There will come a time in a couple of weeks when I'll take off the ornaments and pack them in their little boxes but still leave the lighted tree in place until more toward the end of January.
I don't need the space, no one is telling me it's time to pack it away, I'm happy for now.
The news from New Orleans is hard to hear. All those people, enjoying themselves, never thinking that in a moment they would be dead or hurting. They weren't carrying guns, probably, or looking for a fight, just out celebrating a happy night of the year. Enjoying their friends, enjoying the city.

Good for you, Connie. I took mine down before Christmas because of the kitties but goodness I missed it. Next year I will put up one that doesnt have flocking and see if they like that flavor as well. 😆. What has our world come to? What has happened to the human kindness and decency?
