basket of greens sketch

This sketch shows a basket of artificial Christmas greens that I put on top of the china hutch. In addition to the evergreens it has groups of red berries, icy branches, an icy garland and little white lights. I love at night when it's lit because it gives a soft, warm glow to that corner of the dining room. I'm contemplating leaving it up for a while. I can argue that it's a basket of winter greens with all that ice. What do you think?

I vote for you to leave this basket up as a "winter" decoration, not Christmas. I have a big basket of pine cones that has lights in it and it says up from Thanksgiving until March. Helps cheer up this otherwise dreary time of year.
I agree with JoAnn above. Beautiful things from nature are a comfort in long winter months. And Stacy, you are flying along with your commitment to a sketch a day. I am here cheering you on. Go Stacy!
Thank you ladies for your input! I did leave the basket out. :)
