In the past I have kept things out the entire year- like a pine cone from that year's tree, or the angel from my late grandmother's Christmas trees. Those things always have me a sense of peace.
In my finished basement (lovingly referred to as "The Man Cave" by my girlfriend), I have a fake ficus tree that is decorated with white Christmas lights that will remain that way the entire year. I am toying with the idea of putting white Christmas lights along the edge o the ceiling all around the room as well. That will keep the room looking Christmassy (at least to some extent) all year long.
Christmas lights have a way of keeping the warm glow of Jesus' birth all around us the entire year. I like your ideas, Kiwi ...... and as it is your 'man cave' you can decorate to please your heart! Huge thumbs up!
sounds great. My first boyfriend had trees with fake birds in them in the living room all year long. Christmas is always in the heart.
In Spring/Summer I have battery-operated floral wreaths in the living & great rooms. The lights blinking keep the room lit at night and offer a reminder of Christmas glow!
How glum.
