Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all run into one long holiday around out house. That makes for over a month worth of a holiday. I’m always so happy to see New Years Day so I can get my house back to being just my house instead of a holiday house. I finally got everything put away for next year yesterday. it took about 3 days of walking around finding all of the stuff that comes out for the holidays so I could pack them away for next year.
I have got to come up with a better form of decorating for the holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Christmas Tree with all of the lights and memorable ornaments but I hate putting it up and taking it down. I don’t do live or real trees anymore. It just didn’t seem right to me one year to kill a tree to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Oh well, that’s just me. Maybe next year I’ll scale back just a bit.
