Well, Christmas is put away in our house now. I started putting things away this afternoon. I started with my International Santas because they take a long time to put away. I keep them in their original boxes with the packaging inside each one of them. I now have 45 of them.
The kids played outside while I did this part of it. It snowed today. They were able to make a snowman. I think they used up every bit of snow that was in the front yard because we didn't get a lot of snow. They put the snowman on the front steps so it looks like it is greeting people who come to the door. It's cute.
I worked on putting away Christmas stuff until 5:00 and then stopped to make supper. The kids helped by taking the ornaments off the tree. After we ate supper Michael and I worked on putting the rest of the stuff away. We finally put the last box (the tree) in the back room downstairs at around 8:15.
I did leave out a couple snowmen, since it is still winter. The wreath will stay on the door until the weekend is over and the Scottie pillows can stay out for a little longer, but everything else is put away. The furniture in the living room is put back in place. And, my pictures are back out.
I love Christmas and I love having the house decorated, but putting it back to normal is not horrible. I have mixed feelings about it. I am sad when Christmas is over, but I am glad to see my house "normal" again. I miss my pictures when they are put away so the Christmas decorations can be put out.
