Do you mingle, or replace?

When you decorate and put things out on tables or shelves, do you put the seasonal things out along with any knick knacks you already have out, or put away the non seasonal things and just go with the decorations?


I replace.  I've got a lot of horse, wolf and cat figurines, and I mingled the Christmas deco with them or put the seasonal stuff in front of the other stuff for awhile, but one year I packed all the usual things away when I got out the decorations and put the santas, angels, and other decor in their places and I liked the look so much more!  Now, although it's a little more work, I replace stuff all over the house.

Hi,


I tend to mingle, but that's only because I'm a tad too lazy to put stuff away while putting the seasonal stuff out;-)

My sister always sends me a care package full of stuff for the holidays.
I have small condo, so don't want to store it all year long, so off it
goes to the SA.
I only have a shoebox of stuff that I keep all year.

Good question Ann,
I do a bit of both I suppose
Will add but in certain places just have the holiday stuff.
Not enough room for both in some area, LOL
I have found as time goes on I like less of some of what I have ::gasp::
Why why that is :)
