On Epiphany it's time to say goodbye to all the decorations and to the christmastree. We also light all the candles we have and vote for the best christmas card of the year. I've learned to love Epiphany day a lot. I enjoy the candles and when there are tens of them burning at the same time it's wonderful! Here are some pics of the candles
On Epiphany we also eat the gingerbreadhouse. Here's what's left off it:
Then we spread out all the christmas cards we got to the floor. We admire them for moment. Then we start choosing the best of the year. It's hard because christmas cards are so beautiful. There hasn't been a year we could have chosen only one. Last year we had to choose 4 best cards. This year there were three cards that wom our election. Here you can see them. Thank you for those who sent them to us! They brought us a special joy like all
the christmas cards.
I keep all the christmas cards we get. I have a folder for them. it's nice to look at them every christmas time. Specially the hand made ones are so pretty and bring joy to me.
Now I want to wish all blessed year 2006! Hope that you enjoyed this christmas time and may the child of the christmas get a bigger part of your life this year!

Hello and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thank you for visiting Knitting Kat and leaving a comment. I've enjoyed your pictures and post of how you start the New Year. Your traditions are lovely. Perhaps I will remember this and try it next year. Things like that make life memorable, don't they.
Maggie Ann! Thanks for stopping by. I recommend these traditions. I like them a lot. it doesn't demand much preparation but gives a special athmosphere and helps to give up the christmas time.
i loved the candles too ... they make the gloom fade and add warmth!
Glad you enjoyed the candles. I like watching a living fire. Candles are a way for me to experience it while we don't have a fireplace. In my dream house there is definately a fireplace!!
lovely photos :)
Thank you Lorna! Watching candles is a way for me to nurture my spirit you spoke on your blog. Living fire... Somehow it shows how our spirit is and how we should give the warmth and joy like candles do. And how it varies like our life flame...
