Is it really OVER?

Happy New Year!


I'll admit, this is the very first year that Ryan and I have EVER had our decorations put away before New Years. We had our second annual "family friendly" New Year's Eve party again. With 60 people that rsvp'd, I felt like I HAD to take everything down to make more space!

I've actually heard some people say that they take their tree and decorations down the day after Christmas.

SERIOUSLY??? I would love to know how they explain THAT one to the kids.

Christmas night: Tuck the kids in bed, give hugs and kisses, kids go off to bed dreaming of all the presents they found under the tree that morning.
Wake up: BAM! Sorry kids, Christmas is OVER!

To each his own, I guess......

Not that I've ever had issues with wanting to extend the Christmas season.
Nope. Not me.

Because I surely DO NOT have a picture of Ryan and I, in front of a Christmas tree, holding a sign that says "February 2nd, 1996 - Christmas is OVER!!!"

No, I most definitely do NOT. :)

Girl! you are funny.

Mine is usually down by Jan 2. This year I did leave the outside up until...yesterday, Jan 5. It now all sits in my bonus room waiting to go to the attic. Thank goodness!!!

LOL. We're the ones who take the tree down as soon as Christmas dinner dishes are in the sink. ;-) Okay, joking, but we take them down the week after Christmas. This year we took stuff down on New Years Day and that was LATE for us! :-) But then we also put them up on Thanksgiving weekend, so it was getting pretty dry. You crack me up. You should post that photo that you didn't take. ;-)
