• Operation Christmas Cheer
Holy Cow! 4 weeks? We have not bought any food items for the big day. We are way behind this year. I think it's time to get caught up this week.
 
I try and keep my "Big" Christmas tree up for the majority of January only because January feels so long and dark when all of the lights in the neighborhood steadily come down by the weekend after New Year's.

Some times I say I'm going to leave it up into February because February can have its doldrum moments too. Maybe this year is the year?
I used to get this blue feeling once Christmas decorations came down. I started to decorate for winter and that helped a lot. I looked through all my Christmas decorations to see what could pass as just winter (ex: snowmen, cardinals, white trees) and also started buying some just for winter decor. I have a 4 foot slim pine tree that can just pass as a country tree that we keep lit all year (soft white lights). I've also started using a lot of fake candles around the house to give a warmth. Still bake, still have hot cocoa, still enjoying being cozy. I also take the time to jot down what will help with the following Christmas or what I would like to do differently. It really helps. I'm hoping to create a winter playlist to keep the cozy going (ex: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, etc). It may not be their Christmas songs, but maybe music by them can help. I haven't tried that yet. Although I do have a list for fall to hold me over for Christmas (ex: Autumn Leaves by Nat King Cole, Autumn in New York by Frank Sinatra along with his "September Song." There are several other songs by people like them that aren't fall related but still cozy (ex: Unforgettable by Nat King Cole, Fly Me to the moon by Tony Bennett). And for some reason I always associate the movie Uncle Buck with winter so that becomes a January movie.
