Also, my Christmas tree is still standing all a-twinkle. It has been a tradition of our family to leave the tree up until after "Old Christmas," a custom left over from my Appalachian ancestors. There was a lovely belief that on the eve of the Epiphany, December 6, that at midnight the animals in the barn speak and pray.

I love wrapping presents, preferring to find them, like you, all year round. And I remember that the commercial Christmas ends when the religious Christmas begins - in fact, we currently are in the Christmas season which will end on Epiphany, Jan. 6, after 12 days.

Perfectly stated. As a family we drew names and that really took some of the stress out of shopping, which I thoroughly enjoy, whether on the internet on in the mall. <br />Happy New Year to you and yours. I look forward to reading your wonderful words each post.<br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-20399278538951525752015-01-01T20:02:17.445-05:002015-01-01T20:02:17.445-05:00Have you and Edward ever entered a Dog and Human L...Have you and Edward ever entered a Dog and Human Look-Alike contest?

I can't think of any place I'd LESS rather be than a mall at Christmas! Our small mountain town has so much to offer in the way of shopping; feels so much more personal, and I try to support our local economy. I respect the opinion of the writer whom you referenced, but I'll side with you. And, like you and Scrooge, I shall make more of an effort to keep Christmas--and its true meaning--in my heart every month of the year!<br />LOVE the photo of you and Edward!
