Leave it to Eva to find the happy magic in all this cold and ice we are enduring in New England! Thanks for this image and the wonderful poem. Yum!! I want some hot chocolate after braving the container store! The after-holiday-packing-up blues commence. Cheers and Stay Warm, Brenda

Oh, I am so sad thinking of you having to pack up the Christmas things and yes, it is kind of a ‘blues’ time! I hope you found some great buys at the Container store! I usually get mine at the more discounted places, but am down to only one tub for Christmas, 2 for Easter and one for Halloween/Autumn. I decided to follow my friend, Jenny’s suit and decorate this past Christmas with mostly snowmen. I did put away my crèche scene and my little angels. The Christmas tree I chose at a craft sale my first year in my apt. has birds’ nests, bird houses and little bells. I decided it is okay to leave it up until after Valentine’s Day! Then, I will pull out green stuff for St. Patrick’s Day, (no tub, just stuck in drawers!) I missed our chats, but I am leaving for a midweek dinner date… Take care, Robin

I did manage not to spend all my money at the container store (always a risk). I don’t think my things need to be wrapped in silk or moire or whatnot, but I did get some larger cardboard dividers so that I could get rid of the large number of smaller boxes. That way I could decorate and take down quicker. That was the theory, but reorganizing seemed to take forever. I have lots of glass and feather birds, too, and I got a case for those, and it fits inside one of the two tubs. We have a jumble of ornaments including a cat in high heels and a glitter purple elephant. It’s a whimsical tree, and I really like my ornaments, so I enjoy looking at them. Sad to put them away, but more fun when I take them out again next time… Have a great time on you dinner-date!! Woo-hoo! Warmly, Brenda

We had Spanish Chocolate (thick and hot) last night to celebrate Reyes (the Epiphany), but the temps are reasonable in the Albuquerque area. It was 10º F at our house this morning and it’s currently sunny and 35º F. The hot chocolate looks great, but -20º F with blowing snow is way too cold for me.

A little Aztec hot chocolate goes a way toward making the day okay. Although I think my son’s violin won’t agree. The strings, they be a’poppin’!
