Thank Goodness!
Christmas 2011 is nothing more than a memory. Well, if you can look past the strand of lights that never got hung but still sit on the homework counter in the kitchen. Or the Snowman atop the cabinet in my bathroom. Ooo. . .and there's a ceramic Christmas tree in my daughter's room (we need someone else to move the dresser so we can unplug it--that's out story). Silver wreaths on the doors don't necessarily scream Christmas do they?
OK, so apparently I still have a few jobs to do.
And unfortunately, the job we did last night in taking the ol' tree down was far from perfect. I soooo love the leftover ornaments with no boxes or better yet, finding the boxes 30 minutes later for ornaments we already stuffed into some other box. We said we'd fix that next year. What do you suppose are the chances of that happening?
But for now, the monster, ahem, elephant, in the room is packed away and my living room can return to it's previous glory. There is room again for the dog to sleep wherever she wants (except on my couch--while she might be a 125 lb Lab, yes, she has slept on my couch as though it was entirely proper). There is room to play with Barbie and her camper. And we can see the TV from any chair in the living room. Always a bonus when you can eliminate that argument right off the bat on family movie night :-)
Auf Wiedersehen oh Tannenbaum! (And let the blinds be open again!)
