Bye Bye Christmas Decorations-----Until We Meet Again

Okay, everybody, today is the day.

This is the day that the piles of Christmas adornments, garlands, Santas, and eight million other decorations are going to be placed in plastic tubs and hauled up to the attic.

Why is that such an odious task?

 Because it makes me feel like Methusalah with every bone in my body aching? 

Because I love taking everything out but hate putting it all away?


 Because it's not fun? Mmmmm. I think every single one of those could be checked.

 Honestly, by the time most of the boxes get hauled up to the Inner Sanctum, there may not be enough pizazz left to disassemble the tree. Maybe that can be saved 'til tomorrow.

Did you see the sweet little deer I got this year?

 These were so darned cute and they were only $1 each at Family Bargain store.

 Now, I needed more decorations like another hole in the head but these just about butted their antlers at me to take them home.

Today, they will be wrapped in tissue and  placed in the plastic tub 'til the next Christmas season.

It's supposed to be very c-c-c-c-old today so if it snows a lot and the temps are frigid, I'll be taking my breaks in front of the fireplace.

Ahhhhhhhh, such a luxury.

  Of course, I feel exceedingly grateful for our pink fireplace.

(And for my husband who builds a great fire.)

So bye bye for now.

As I put each decoration away, I'm also going to give thanks for such a splendid holiday season from start to finish and that includes visits from y-o-u!

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR HAPPIEST HOLIDAY MEMORIES FROM THIS PAST CHRISTMAS?
