Yesterday was operation take down and we came out with success. I am a big fan of putting up Christmas months ahead of time, but I am a bigger fan of the boxing day rip down. This year we let it sit boxing day as we still had company but the day after... it was on. It's neat to see what my house looks like plain. We moved in October 15th so I immediately decorated for Halloween. The Day after Halloween was over, I brought out Christmas. So I am thinking I have never really seen my house bare. It looks so clean, modern and homey. I love it even more now. I have to admit I am totally missing my Christmas tree. This is the first year I have not killed it and this one I actually cut down with the kids. It was a special tree. It's now sitting in my backyard so very sad looking.
So all in all Christmas was fantastic and now it's over. All that prep and gone in one day. I really need to adjust to that. Once I do, I'll be ok. But I miss is. I miss the family, I miss the happiness, I miss the excitement...
I miss Christmas.
