Last night, I took down the last of Christmas.
For the first time since we were able to furnish our HUGE combination living/family room, we put up a small part of our Snow Village display. When we had no furniture, our Snow Village took up a big part of one wall. However, about six years ago, we finally filled in all the gaping holes. (And don't ask why one home with only two people needs to have five living room spaces--PLEASE--just don't ask!)
I'd been meaning to put the village pieces away for weeks--nay, months--but time is a precious commodity around here. Still, last night I felt that it was finally long past time.
The weather is great, so who wants to think about snow and Snow Village? So, now we're back to our regular decorating mode and anticipating a long, hot summer.
And right about now, doesn't that sound WONDERFUL?

I am actually SO HAPPY to hear this!!! I took down the rest of Christmas two weeks ago....this is awesome! Good for you sweetie!! xo
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm not the ONLY one dragging their feet. *whew* When my hubby grumbles about some of the stuff still in the living room, I told him, "When you get the wireless system going -- that you've promised since before Christmas -- this stuff gets put away." We'll see. Somehow, I have a feeling those little Christmas penguins dressed in their finery are going to welcome fireworks on the Fourth! Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as someone from Florida, summer does not sound wonderful! I was disappointed in our lack of winter this year and it's slightly depressing when the 10-day forecast for the next week is all 80s. It just means that the real heat will be here way too soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on putting away the rest of the Christmas decorations though! I live with my sister (I'm 29, and she's 26), and she just put away the last few pieces we'd missed the first go-around a few weeks ago.
