Sorry to pack it away
I'm a little sad to be packing up the Christmas decorations. The holiday's were so much fun this year. The other night I tried to pinpoint exactly why that was the case. Partly I think it was because of our amazing trip to my Grandmother's house early in December. She had already decked out her house in holiday finery and that, along with the view from our hotel room of Pittsfield's huge lit tree and Berkshire Bank's giant lit wreath, plus a snowstorm to make everyone feel cozy thrown in for good measure, was definitely enough to put a girl in the Christmas spirit. Also, I really stuck to my decision to not overdo the usual Holiday shenanigans. That's something I'm going to make an annual tradition. Nixing expectations, sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying the season. Who would have thought?
Today I'm going to start the taking-down process, although probably the tree will be up for another day or two. Let's be realistic shall we? I've never been a fan of the quick removal method when it comes to band-aids, so I'll just carry that notion into the de-holidayification of our house.
