I am so not ready to let go of the holidays. I usually get a little sad when they’re over. Last year I remember asking Ben (yup, that’s the Tall Guy—I named him on the blog!), “What’s winter without Christmas?” He responded simply, “Narnia.” Ouch.

So I tend to find little ways to keep the spirit lively around the house. This year I’m keeping my twinkly light heart wreath up until at least Valentine’s Day. Then I’m sure I’ll be bored with it and longing to rearrange the mantel.

I also found these other fantastic ways to keep lights up long after the holidays.

Design Sponge

Homedit

Crunchy Peas

Fun, right? Plus, when it warms up, we can bedeck our outdoor spaces…
