I thought Christmas was all put away. Then I spotted this! I walk past this door frequently but somehow missed this little decoration until today. NOW Christmas is all put away.

I do that sometimes too. You can walk by it for weeks and then all of a sudden you see it.

Is that an owl? That is an unusual decoration for Christmas. Is there a story behind it?

I forgot the picture! My avatar is a snowy owl. They hang around our area, (central Alberta) all winter.

@paigea Ha, I have a string of jingle bells on my outside doorknob. When you see something all the time, you don't really see it.

@LadyDuck Now I found a wooden painted Santa hanging on a door knob in the basement. I probably hung it there as I was gathering things to bring up and probably never brought it up.

That's so sad it's all put away. I hate to see Christmas depart. That's why I still have everything up yet. I'll take it down on February 1st. Now your life has returned to normal and you can look forward to Valentine's Day.

I have that exact same little decoration. And funny thing is it has been past over in years gone by when I was putting decorations away and found later just like you did.

@paigea My first job was as an Activity Director and one of my residents gave it to me, it was a decoration that she had had in her home.

I do that some years, too. I'll see one thing that I didn't put away and promptly put it away. I try to get all of the decor put away, but from time to time I'll see one that just kept wanting to be displayed.I try to put a positive spin on it like well, I guess I'll have an extra good Christmas this coming year!

@paigea When I went home I found just by accident, for I knocked my back scratcher and it fell to the floor, and there floated down a little star I made for Christmas. I picked it up and threw it away.

That is Cool looking. We have some decorations around the house, and most of the time the things like a Crocheted Santa and Snowman we never bother removing anymore.

I like to change all my ornaments around from time to time as I then actually 'see' them again for a while and enjoy them the more because of it.
