Un-decorating

It's not nearly as much fun as decorating. But it must be done, and this is the week.

I started with the biggest, and most difficult task: the Tree. We have so much fun decorating it; we all have our favorite ornaments, and there is a lot of exclaiming and showing everyone when we find them. The perfect spot on the tree must be found, and when we're done, we turn on the lights and ooh and ah. Unfortunately, it's not quite as much fun to take them off the tree and put them back in their boxes.

That task falls to me.

It's done, now; the tree is waiting in the hall to be hauled off to recycling tomorrow.

That task falls to my husband and son.
