Ugh! The daunting task of taking down all those decorations is upon me....well us. I don't do it alone thanks to my wonderful husband. But, even with the help, it's still a job! My house is a mess and I don't just mean with things, I mean with dust. I can't believe the dust that accumulates on everything during the month. I took down the decorations around my desk area and now I can't figure out what to put so it doesn't look so bare. Funny, I can't seem to remember what was there before I decorated:)
The tree came down last night because today is trash day. We all took off the decorations but the task of putting them away is mine. Every single one of our Christmas tree ornaments has a special meaning to me and my family so putting them away must be done with care. We have been collecting ornaments for the last 20 years and each year we just add to the collection. From first baby, to vacations, to favorite cartoons to family traditions. Funny, but I can remember where we got just about every ornament we have and they all bring such good memories.
Tonight we will finally take down all the inside decorations and store them back in the rafters for another year. Tomorrow the outside decorations come down. I will sure miss the beautiful lights that greet me when I come home at night.
Oh the mess that comes with getting the house back to normal but how wonderful it will be when it's all put away and the house is clean and sparkly......well maybe I'll just settle for clean:)
