My small trees with just the clear lights are still up in our home. The fireplace mantle still has small pine trees on it with the clear light. We (my husband and I ) really like the lights in the winter. We have a lot of snow outside right now so it goes with the outside. And I have a few (13) of the luminara candles on timers so they click on around 5:30 in the evening. 😊

I miss the Christmas decor but I took everything red down and kept all the greenery, tree, wreaths and my mantle garland with all the white lights! It looks so warm and cozy with the snow and kinda extends Christmas without it looking like Christmas if that makes sense! In a couple weeks I’ll replace the wreaths with hearts! I need color and Valentine’s gives me the red I’m missing from Christmas! ♥️🤗

I usually decorate right on track with you (and have for years, lol) but this year for the first time EVER I'm turning my living room Christmas tree into a Valentines tree. I've always seen people do it and never really had an interest in doing it (mainly because I get anxious to take my trees down after christmas) but you HAVE to try it next year!! I've been having so much fun getting creative and finding valentines tree decor and it turned out soo cute! ❤ -Mandy

Crystal, I loved your video (I always do! ❤) and you decorated your kitchen and dining area beautifully. Your home is sooo cozy and inviting! ❤ I took Christmas 🎄 down on New Years Day, and just put my everyday decor back out, including a couple of small flower arrangements out. I couldn't wait for spring, I'm a flower-aholic and HAVE to have flowers around! In moderation, of course! 😂 I think everyone should just decorate our homes however makes us happy. I'm 74, a great grandma, live alone, so I just decorate however I want. 😂❤

I'm tired after all of the Christmas decor take down so I'm doing things in a minimal style and then after Easter it's back to normal for the spring and summer.

I like to put out a few winter decor items (pinecones, a garland that looks like sparkly snow, candles) but mostly I like the house pretty bare after I put the Christmas decor away. The bare house feels like a fresh start and allows me to be able to easily get to surfaces to do some new year deep cleaning. I decorate for Valentine’s Day the last week of January, decorate for St. Patrick’s the last day of February and then put out my spring/Easter decor the last week of March.

Hi Crystal still got main tree up and Norfolk pine garlands some fairy lights and a few ceramic trees up, I don’t like January evenings as gets dark early so it’s nice to still have that cosy feel with the pretty lights. Rest of house now feels bare as it’s all been packed away. So now I’m on a declutter mission as I do at the start of January not that my house is cluttered it just the usual go through clothes, makeup and a few cupboards, and outdated items. I’m paying for everyone who’s been affected by the fires in America it’s heartbreaking. Have a great weekend xx

There are so many natural supplements to take to get your thyroid in check. Once you start prescription thyroid meds you never get off of them. My Mom has been taking them since her late 40’s and still taking them and she’s 70. The prescription isn’t a cure it just masks the problem. I went the supplement route and I’ve never had any issues with mine. Hope you and your family are having a great new year! ❤
