Don't want it to be over

I don't want to take my Christmas decorations down. I am enjoying the house looking festive. How late is too late to take them down. Here are a few pictures, just to keep the memory alive.

Our "main" Christmas tree

My Christmas village

Christmas dishes-one of my favorite things

The view into my dining room (I hate my table and chairs)

The playroom tree-done in lambs, Olivia's favorite thing

Maybe I can just transition the decorations into Valentine's Day decor. A heart tree maybe...maybe not. Oh well, Merry be-lated Christmas.
