Since the Christmas season is officially over, it's time to take down the Christmas decorations.  This year it took me about 60 seconds.  With my crazy work schedule, I didn't have the time or energy to put up a tree, even though I have FOUR Christmas trees in the attic.

My Christmas decorations this year consisted of displaying the cards I recieved from family and friends.  I wanted to see and enjoy the cards throughout the season.  As they came in, I punched a hole in the top corner and placed them on manzanita branches.  In my family, we call these branches "The Blessing Tree."  It was used here and here.

    Looks lovely! I love the idea of the Blessing Tree. So nice. I hung our cards around the cookbook shelf in the kitchen, and I may keep the photo cards up longer!
