tree lights glowing and with the fireplace working.\u00a0 I light some candles, put on some nice music, and we feel like adults.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a gloomy day when I took these photos, but I think they turned out okay.\u00a0 I stick with traditional red and green, and use what I have.\u00a0 So, you have probably seen these decorations in another room in the past.\u00a0 But that&#8217;s
