Christmas Clean-Up

The annual Christmas clean-up is under way. I spent a big chunk of the day taking down the tree and other various decorations that festively adored our place for the past month. 

 It starts off as just a big old mess.

 And very slowly things get neatly tucked away in totes.

 Until the rooms begin to look positively empty by comparison.

While I'll have to wait for my husband to get home to finish the final bit of garland, there are very few traces of Christmas left. 

The whole project was carefully supervised by sweet little Gypsy from the comfort under the blanket on the couch. And since it took me 4 hours I have decided to join her under that blanket to rest until dinner. She's always up for cuddling.
