DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS!
By this time, last
year, I had decorated my home for Christmas!
WHAT CHANGED?
It is not the excuse that my ‘babies’ have flown from the
nest, save 2 still trying to stretch their
wings for that final flight or are they
too cosy in the nest to make the flight? I leave that to Papa God, our Creator.
Christmas, aside our
celebrating our Lord’s birth, is personal to every one of us. For me, it is also
the rebirth of another mile stone to achieve in my life. Because it comes towards the end of a year
and marks the beginning of a new era, I set life goals and writing goals. I hope to finish a new poetry collection by
Christmas,which was set from December 2021. Hopefully. For my life goals, I had planned house decluttering, being more active in my Christian life and to lose weight. All will be a carry-over!
So all those years you decorated the house for Xmas, was it
for the season, family or for Lord Jesus?
Searching my heart, I
realise that for the past 30 years, I did the Xmas decorating. ALONE. Is yours a family thing? I know Donna Fetcher’s home is always heavily
and beautifully decorated for the Xmas season [Judging from her last year’s
December Newsletter] and maybe many of you as well. Have you done yours yet? Do
you decorate lightly or heavily?
I have written one Christmas poem inspired from one of us
writing one last year December in the MTW post. I haven’t yet written a
Christmas story. The idea of decorating the home for Xmas can create an upbeat
tone or mood and an atmosphere of excitement, no matter the genre. Have you done any Christmas writing?
Well, guess what everyone – I’m simply going to see what
will happen in my home this Xmas season!! Will it get decorated for Xmas or
not? Find out next month!

Lovely. You are very early though!
ReplyDeleteLovely Sophia. I decorate lightly, I think, by some standards but of course it's all subjective - I do like a big tree with lots of decorations on and plenty of room underneath to put the presents! And I love candles and sparkly stuff. (Sheila aka SC Skillman)
