Sittin’ in my new P.J.’s, in the middle of the afternoon, with nothin’ but dishes to do. I’m lounging in the softest of velour as my memories take a tour of Christmas so far… Christmas isn’t over until the decorations come down. And even though some may go the day after and put it all away, I wait till long after New Year’s Day. The house is quiet. I am all alone. I’m peaceful and content as I can be. Just me in my new P.J.’s, looking at my little Christmas tree. LGR©12/26/14 |

Lovely pensive moment. No, they aren't coming down before Auld Lange Syne |

Lovely words from a lovely person in her new P.J.'s ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |

This one has a cozy feel to it, just like the soft velour. Well done. It gives me a feeling of contentment just reading it. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Very cute...loved the PJ's. Reminds me of a quote on a picture I have hanging in my home that reads... "How nice it is to do nothing all day, then relax afterwards"  |

Winding down after the holidays is definitely a blessing. I'm pooped but it was fun. Ida |

I have plenty yet to do Ida, I'm not taking the decorations down and that will take a day. My daughter wants me to finish painting her room and my husband wants me to help him split wood. So, there goes my doing nothing! No rest for the wicked as they say! |

Yeah, we're a "after New Years" family too! We nurse it long as we can, I mean, once a year and have to make all the effort worth it, right??? Besides, this year it's simple --- we only (er, um, My Wife) did put up a tree, so that's all that'll have to come down! j. |
