Today I took down the Christmas tree...
Farewell until next December ornaments, lights that will spend the next 11 months snarling themselves into a ball of plastic yarn, itty-bitty pieces of red and green flotsam and jetsam, wreaths and floral displays, favorite books with Christmas themes, garlands, bows, ribbon, 16 boxes of ornament hangers (that are never found until the next box is purchased), replacement light bulbs that never fit the current string of lights I own, snow village with fake, fluffy field of snowness upon which you rest, candles that are for "show" only and shall never feel the spark and heat of a match. Everything has now been properly returned to its storage place. But Christmas memories are never very far away, because I'll be finding needles from my tree from now until next December...

our house is half-way de-decorated at this point. And I'm sad and overwhelmed and it may remain this way until the 1st. I hate to put it all away. I love our decorations because they have so many memories!!
That reminds me... I should put our stuff away. I'm feeling lazy, though. Maybe I'll wait just a little bit longer...
