Sometimes I don't know what my weekend will behold. But this weekend it looks like a plan has been made.
According to the wife we are "deChristmasing."
That is, we will take down all of the Christmas decorations inside and out. WooHoo is all I can say to that.
Look, at the end of the day, the ONLY consolation here is that taking the Christmas decorations DOWN is WAY easier than putting the damned things up.
So it will be done. Christmas. And all the festiveness of the house with the lights and the blow ups and the tree and whatever else will now go dark until next year.
I am not looking necessarily forward to taking it all down. But I AM glad to be done with the whole thing.
Onward and upward.

Look at how lucky you are to have a wife that always has a weekend plan.
My "taking down of the decor" was quite easy.
I don't like wires and knots and the such.

I think this weekend I'll be doing the same. Although, putting it away for me is a lot more work than putting it up was lol. Good luck with the deChristmasing!

@porwest I have a friend who knows exactly where every single ornament is. I never put mine back in the same place, so it's such a nice surprise next year when I start decorating!

@1creekgirl lol. Every year we try to be more organized. I am not sure if we ever really accomplish our goal.

I will start the process maybe next week. The holidays were all busy days that my room has become an island of topsyturvy, I put off the task this weekend because I attended to fixing and organizing my closet and cleaning up the mess in my room, and I need to trim down my laundry pile

@porwest I totally agree with you. Cleaning up, organizing stuff, and all sorts of tinkering job is a never ending tale
