By now, most of us have rallied and completed the dreaded “end-of-the-holidays” packing up of decorations, bidding a reluctant “until-next-year” farewell to the season. If you’re anything like me, this time of year can be a bit melancholy and anti-climactic. Why? Because along with no more trimmings and trinkets, those strings of lights have gone as well, ya know? Where’s the sparkle?
No worries, my friends…here are some clever and delightful ways to keep the twinkle of the season twinkling all year long! Whether it’s just a decorative touch or a permanent installation, those winter white lights will keep the magic in your home long after the snow has melted. It’s just…so delightful!
