I just took the tree down today and put all my Christmas stuff away. That is something that is always a pain to me, packing it all away.

But since New Year's Eve, I have had all my Christmas stuff all in one spot for me to pack away later and I finally did it today when I was planning on doing it this past weekend.

I gave most of the stuff away, but there are a few things still up. I still have food left. :(


My next innovation is to create decorations that you flip to make it the next holiday. It will make millions.

Why aren't houses built with Christmas lights attached to the fascia?

Yes, I keep my stuff out until the 6th of January. I think that Christmas is a personal thing and we have our own times that everything is taken down and packed away. 8)

I don't put anything out but my mom put out a bunch. My room is the only room she didn't touch with xMas stuff but some of it gets stored in my closets. She started taking it down a few days ago Our tree's still up but the ornaments are off. We need to find out when the parish(it's like the Louisiana word for county) will pick em up from side of the road to put in the marsh to help prevent erosion

Wait, you keep your Christmas stuff up all year around and take it down on December 6th? When do you put it back up again?

This is probably the least understood reply to one of my posts I've ever read. What does Christmas lights have to do with chopsticks? :lol:

Yes, but it's just a table-top tree. I'm being lazy, really. Perhaps tomorrow...

Still got some lights on a tree, there is a wreaths still on the door, and there is a nutcracker on a shelf behind me.
