Well, it's January 28th and I am finally getting to taking down Christmas decorations. 2 hours in and so far, so good. It's amazing how empty the place looks without the stuff but it's a relief to begin putting it all away. It's sad that decorating for the holidays can feel like such a pain and that putting everything away does too. Good thing I like the holidays or this would SO not be worth it. ;-)
But, no worries, the tree is still up. I LOVE Christmas trees and ornaments. I purchased a few when I was in Europe last time and you can bet I'll pick up a few more on this year's trip. The Swiss and Germans know how to make ornaments !!!! Someday, I want to spend the holidays over there... preferably not homeless or in a hostil but, beggars can't be choosy :-)
Well, I hope to at least get the ornaments off tonight and tomorrow morning and begin to wrap and store them immediately as evenings and weekends are booked, oh.... through the rest of month. Worst case, the ornaments will get put away and the tree will remain standing. Then, I'll hang hearts on the tree and call it a Valentine's tree. If that works, I'll just put some bunnies and eggs on strings too, in case April comes too fast. Shoot, then I'll just keep the tree up and put suns up for summer and leaves up for fall, pumpkins and ghosts for Halloween, Turkeys for Thanksgiving until next Christmas comes around. Hmmmm..... Brain child???
Here's hoping it doesn't get that bad.
Can you pay people to take down your trees???????
