Festive decorations at the vintage store.
Are you done already decorating your house?
No tree for us this year, we are keeping it simple.
Lots of other decorations though.
Have a look at my friend Kay's tree.
She always has a beautiful vintage one.

Let Christmas not become a thing
Merely of merchant's trafficking,
Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
And surface pleasure, but beneath
The childish glamour, let us find
Nourishment for soul and mind.
Let us follow kinder ways
Through our teeming human maze,
And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer's martyrdom.

Mir ist die Stille der Weihnachtszeit auch lieber als das laute Gehetze und der Kommerz. Danke für diese wunderbaren Zeilen von Madeline Morse.
