Packing it up

It seems we only got the Christmas stuff out a week or so ago. It doesn't feel right to be putting it away already. But, it's outta here.

It was relatively painless. Once we got all the decorations off the tree, I hauled it outside and left a firestorm of needles marking my path. That tree dried out quickly.
The lights all came easily enough and Susan got here village re-packed and stowed. She ran into a little problem when she discovered her village diagram was missing. This is a very important piece of paper in order to maintain the integrity of the village from year to year.

It was actually a very nice day to be outside. The temperature was warm enough to be out with a light jacket and the sun was kind of beaming through the haze.

Now it is the end of the Holiday Weekend and time to return to the drudgery and grind of every day life. Damn! I just broke the resolution to be more positive. Oh Poop! I also broke the resolution to clean up my language. Crap!
