How's the hibernaculum?

 After a few days away it's lovely to come back to my own home.  Holly Dog makes me very welcome but I still like my hibernaculum best.    

Today is the day I take down the Christmas decorations and reclaim normality for my home.  It's lovely when they first go up and it's lovely when they first go down.  The door wreath will stay until tomorrow to be taken down when I chalk the door for 2026.  

The weather doesn't look encouraging for trips out but I have brilliant stores and have no intention of going anywhere.

I've got books (especially audiobooks), lots of knitting wool, lovely things to do.

How's the hibernaculum?  It's great!

  1. It's good to be home, isn't it?
    May I ask what chalking the door for 2026 means?
    Stay warm, safe, and dry in your hibernaculum. :)

  2. I do wish I could find some inclination to do things, I'm sat still for far too long.

  5. Hello ☺️
    Happy New Year! Christmas is so wonderful but I love putting the decorations away before New Years Eve. It clears the house up so nicely.

    1. I'm a bit of a traditionalist so I leave them for the twelve days of Christmas (which end 5th January).

  6. I took down the decorations a bit ago, but Harvey left his up downstairs and will take them down tomorrow. Hmmm, inquiring minds want to know what chalking the door is?

    God bless.
