My Least Favorite Day of the Year

Russ had to go back to work today. Last night he brought all the Christmas boxes out of the attic so I was set up to start the de-Christmasing. I did not jump right out of bed. Taking Christmas down is my least favorite thing to do.

Shay and I lazed around playing games and watching TV for too long. I was procrastinating in the worst away. I eventually started taking the needlepoint down, then the garlands. I undid all the Living room decorations, but did not clean the room or replace the non-holiday decorations that have to be put away during Christmas.

In between all these jobs I would stop and look at my phone, or play a round of mah Jongg and then get back to work. I undecorated about a third of the tree. Shay kept asking for attention so I gave it to her. Happy for the interruption. Finally at seven I threw in the towel for the day. I barley made a dent.

I promised myself I would do better tomorrow. I hate spreading this job out.
