I also haven't totally dismantled my Christmas either. We try to keep a little of my husband's childhood traditions alive in our home and family. All Kings Day is tomorrow. Tonight the children will leave their shoes outside of their bedroom doors and gifts will be placed in them. I believe some in Canada call it "Little Christmas". After January 6th, I get serious about packing our Christmas décor and organizing for next year! It kind of makes me feel sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436764764797493783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-70966030016400401302014-01-05T20:51:35.112-05:002014-01-05T20:51:35.112-05:00I still have some Christmas decor out, too, Vee.

So, that's our tradition.<br /><br />Your NOEL sign is really pretty. Did you and John create it?<br /><br />When those bugs hit, I'm spraying Lysol, using Clorox in the dishwasher and the Clorox spray cleaner. I will remember Hydrogen Peroxide. I always have it on hand, but never thought about cleaning with it.

I'm sorry you are not feeling well, I...Hi Vee!<br /><br />I'm sorry you are not feeling well, I hope you start feeling better very quickly - big hugs to you. <br /><br />I heard that it's a good thing to leave at least one Christmas decoration up in your home - there was a cute little poem that went along with the idea too. I can't remember what it said word for word, but something to the effect that we would keep the Spirit of Christ in our homes...it was cute...I liked it. So, I always keep a little something up, just as a reminder... :0) I can just see the sweet face of your little grand, happy that you were leaving something up. They really do keep the Spirit of Christmas in their hearts longer than we do.<br /><br />Hydrogen Peroxide is a wonderful disinfectant to have around, I gargle with it when I have a sore throat, so a little in the ears is probably a very good thing!<br /><br />Get well soon.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Barb<br /><br />Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-940624093799019512014-01-05T15:09:17.006-05:002014-01-05T15:09:17.006-05:00Vee, I just love that NOEL wall plaque!

As for hydrogen peroxide for your ears you will be glad to know that I have suffered with tiny ear canals and a resulting wax build up for years and my doc has ordered me more than once to put a few drops in my ears a couple times a week! I don't do it as faithfully as I should, but you can know it is perfectly safe to do so. It might not get rid of any infections, but it sure will keep them nice and clean. Oh, and just so you know, "elephant ear" is among my least favorite things to endure. Praying you clear yours up quickly!

We have too much piled up in our storage room that needs to find the light of day in somebody else's home. I've got to figure out if I want to go through a yard sale or not, since Mr. Jim is not too keen on them. And aren't those peroxide spray bottles wonderful? Once you get one of two of them, you can get the big bottles or peroxide to refill them. I hope you ear gets better! Don't forget to hold your nose, close your mouth, and blow to help clear liquids.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-87055029899871117682014-01-04T19:49:38.753-05:002014-01-04T19:49:38.753-05:00Knowing that a little grandson was still appreciat...Knowing that a little grandson was still appreciating the Christmas decor would be reason enough to let it remain. How sweet!<br />I've been plugging away at stowing mine today. Didn't get as far as I would like, but tomorrow is another day. My grandson has been here for several days. I'd rather play with him than concern myself with getting all the decor stowed by a certain date.<br />I hope the peroxide sends that elephant on his merry way.

The poinsettia plant looks very happy underneath. Surely a white sparkly garland doesn't scream Christmas, does it? I like it there. <br />Germies have been making their way through our family, too. Nothing too serious or dramatic, but I can relate to the very small elephant in the ear. Sometimes it thumps. <br />Such a sweet little grand who wants to store up Christmas memories.
