Define Sparkles...
Physical Effect: To shine brightly with small, quick flashes of light, like sunlight on water or the reflection of a diamond.
Personality: A person who "sparkles" is described as lively, intelligent, and witty.
January 19, I put away all Christmas, but left the tree because its cold and I like sparkles because this is my Florida fireplace.
January Sparkles, from My Nook, it is now Feb and the tree is still there.
Before I got old and memory impaired, the house was full of candles, and I collected from thrift stores candle holders, the long ones , not the fat ones..
I have not used these in about 10 years.
It Feb. and I am Sitting on my sofa, and this is what I see.
The tree is still up, but I did remove the glass balls, now its just a sparkle tree.
But wait, there are more, to be continued

I love your sparkly nook, and the "crystal candleabras". I have a lot of those too, as I always love the tall taper candles on the dinner table. Used to go to those candle parties back in the day, but now I can't abide scented candles so I only use the unscented kind. The tapers are hard to find nowadays. I love the look of your pretty candle holders sparkling in the lights. Hey, remember, it's your house...you can do what you want regarding decorations. You can leave them up as long as you want! My feeling is, if it makes you smile, leave it up. We all need all the "sparkles" we can find during these long winter days where there is no fresh green beauty outside and everything looks dry and dead. Spring will be here soon and then there will be more to smile about outside. Until then, enjoy whatever makes your heart smile!
You deserve those sparkly places in your house. If it helps smooth out the long hours virtually imprisoned due to being the caregiver and doer of everything, do it, I say.
