I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

The Evening Tour, Christmas Home Tour 2015


Welcome to The Evening Tour, Christmas Home Tour 2015!!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!

Yes, I still have my Christmas decorations up.

It never ceases to amaze me that people are in such a hurry to put away Christmas right after Christmas Day. What happened to holding on to that wonderful Christmas Spirit????

In this area, in which a large population of Eastern European immigrants settled in the early 1900's,  it is customary to leave up Christmas decorations until AFTER New Year's Day.

When I was a child, Christmas decorations were left up until Epiphany or the Feast of the 3 Kings which celebrates the day upon which the three kings arrived at Bethlehem, Three Kings Day is twelve days after Christmas Day, and marks the end of the Christmas period.
 It falls on Wednesday, Jan. 6, this year.

I will start taking down Christmas on Jan. 7 because that will be my first day off after working a 3 day stretch after this weekend and  Joe's parents are coming to visit on Sunday for a Christmas visit.
Now on to the my Evening Tour......

I love how the house looks in the Evening with all the lights on , both inside and out.......
