The 24 Days of Putting-Stuff-Away

All of my holiday entertaining is officially over. The Fam Damily was here for thee hours on the 21st; my Hand-Picked Family was here on January 3rd. We enjoyed a clean and decorated house (over the the 24-Days-of-Putting-Stuff-Up).

And now it's time to start the 24-Days-of-Putting-Stuff-Away. This is my plan to make taking down the Christmas decorations as painless as possible. I will put away one decoration every day and soon--by maybe mid-February--all the Christmas decorations will be down and put away.

That is, of course, unless I decide to embark on the 350 Days-of-Taking-Down-the-Tree. Same strategy: take down one ornament at a time until they're all safely wrapped in tissue paper and stored in the ornament box. :-) Why not? We have an artificial tree this year, so there's no hurry. We may end up enjoying our tree year 'round at this rate.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

  1. That would be hilarious. I can just see someone walking into your house in August... "Why is your tree up so early? And why is it only decorated on the far right side?"
