A quiet evening

Today there was so much rain! I haven’t got a huge amount to say today, but I found this poem which I like so here it is:

I dwell in Possibility -
A fairer House than Prose-
More numerous of Windows-
Superior- for Doors-

Of Chambers as the Cedars-
Impregnable of Eye-
And for an Everlasting Roof-
The Gambrels of the Sky-

Of Visitors- the fairest-
For Occupation- This-
The spreading wide my narrow Hands-
To gather Paradise-

-Emily Dickinson

    hi loobylu

    i dont have a comment exactly. Rather, a question.

    I’m having my first family christmas at home this year, and i want to make it really fun, colourful, and most of all – cost-effective!

    Are there any websites you can suggest? like crazy japanese or minimalist swedish ones, or something?

    And are you planning anything wonderful for your christmas?

    I’d love your help! :)

    Thanks-a-million
