Oh, my achin' back ... *Grin*
I do enjoy Christmas decorations, and the holiday was REALLY lovely - nice time in my own home this year, just me mom and her husband - but me oh my, how I do love how big and clean and bright the house seems for New Year's when I take it all down again. It wasn't up long this year, scarcely over two weeks. But today I finally got a huge new piece of furniture brought into the house. Today all the dismantled tree bits, and boxes of ornaments, and standalone knickknacks are all stowed.
Today the house is very much lighter and more open. Larger and spacious - even with a huge new piece in the dining room. Today the stress of moving that, and all the picking up is done.
Tomorrow, I return the furniture dollies. Tomorrow, I go to the grocery for a few very special ingredients. Tomorrow, I will observe my New Year's rite - and worship - and dust and scrub the small stuff.
Tomorrow, the decks will be clear, the work of 2011 done - and I will be loaded and ready to fire away for 2012.
