UnSparkle Day 1

It had to start sometime…The taking down of Christmas. I have put it off long enough. Russ went to the attic and handed down the almost 50 boxes that all the Christmas goes in. I hate this process. Taking away all the sparkle and lights is sad and depressing.

I started with the needlepoint and did the living room first. I got the entry hall, dining room and sunroom done to. I started on the big room, but not the tree. I will get to work on that tomorrow, but don’t anticipate finishing it. I don’t see a need to rush.

No one is coming over. All the parties are done. It won’t matter if I do a little each day and put the tree away next weekend. Spending a little more time with my decorations makes me happy. I used to have my house decorated one month a year, but now I am up to two months. Why not? Life is short, spend more of it in Christmas mode.
