Color My Week: Red

I usually like to decorate in neutral tones with a few highlights of color in the autumnal family. Nothing too bold, beyond creating a warm and comforting environment. Then Christmas comes along and the boxes of decorations are opened and suddenly there is RED everywhere.

 

For a few weeks, I get to submerge myself in childhood Christmas memories. The good ones. And now I also get to watch my children get excited as they unwrap the ornaments and recognize their own paper wreaths or the collection of yarn ornaments from Danish relatives.

Even the silver glitter-covered shoe ornament that my daughter gave me two years ago has survived to give another season of joy.

But it's the color red that indicates that Santa is on his way and that the spirit of the season has returned to my house.

Happy Holidays!!
