A tradition developing is once all the holiday decorations are put away, finding something out in the open that missed being boxed up. Last year it was a vintage plastic holly tree hanging on the wall. Before that, the ornaments on the faux deer head I made, that, btw, are still up there.
He has become the representative of a joyous season. (The pumpkin wall sculpture is a foot or so off frame to the right.)
This year, the cat on the sill is still wearing her holiday jewelry. I’m thinking of making her a winter scarf to replace her bling.
Do you have holiday stragglers?
Update 19 January 2026:
Sitting here reading comments, guess what I see. (The vase has been moved back.)
🤣
We discovered two stragglers this week.

Two in one week is fantastic.

I always expect to find at least one straggler and this year it was the Christmas fridge magnets...overlooked despite my doing a walk through looking to find anything I missed.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteA walk through! 👏
I haven’t thought about doing that. I just look around before I tape up the box. 🤣

Yes, the cat can stay out through the winter season. You can put some sort of blue on him. I love blue in the home, especially at wintertime. He's really cute. The white deer head is delightful too. Both of them are wintery white, and can stay out for a while.
