(old christmas cards cut into hearts and packed away for gift tags for next year - inspired by this post)
When taking down the Christmas decorations
Instead of feeling sad,
I fill the box with love, with hope, with joy
And seal it tight.
This way I know that in December
When I open it again,
I will be surrounded by the love
Of Christmas past.
What a great idea to use this year's Christmas cards as tags for next year - brilliant, I might steal the idea myself :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem, Rachel - and a lovely sentiment. I felt a mixture of sadness and hope as I packed away the decorations, wondering what the year had in store and where we will be this time next year (we're in the process of selling our house).
ReplyDeleteI love the labels too!
This is a bRilliAnT idea...what a lovely way to reuse thus conserve and honor time past.
ReplyDeleteLove.
I started to do this with mine, and got overwhelmed with Christmas cleanup, and they ended up in the recycling bin. I'm regretting that now! :( Wish I had saved them!!
