It's a depressing day for me when we have to take down all the Christmas decor. Laura loves it. She's a purger. I'm a binger. But I shed a tear every time I drag the tree that once brought us so much joy out to the woods to be piled up with those who came before him. It's an ugly sight.
But it was that kind of day. Ridding ourselves of all the cardboard that's been building up in the shed. Boxes that held slides and trampolines and toys and toys and toys. We could've built ourselves a new house lout of cardboard. And utilizing our new ornament organizers was quite satisfying for myself because I like to keep all the bits and pieces coordinated. Laura can make fun of me all she wants. She'll thank me next holiday season come time to decorate again. But I'm not sure how we got 5 new totes this season and still can't fit everything. Christmas is multiplying.
So at 7:51pm I threw the last swag of greens out the back door and just like that Christmas was over. Except the outdoor lights, and I may just leave them on all night tonight... so I still got tonight.
