Had to take a migraine day yesterday, but I was up bright and early at 5 a.m. this morning and the tree is down! I swore it would be done by Twelfth Night (Epiphany), and I cut it pretty close but made the deadline.
I bought a couple of red & green totes a few weeks ago, so now all of my ornaments are safely tucked away in totes -- one in the garage with stuff that can't freeze and the other in the basement. As of today, I have 2 huge and 1 medium totes in the basement full of Christmas stuff, plus 3 totes and 2 boxes in the garage -- plus the stuff on the shelves and the Christmas tree itself. It's a good thing we reorganized the basement a while back or I wouldn't have space to store all of this stuff. Once again, though, I'll collect ornaments on our vacations again this year. Great memories as I unpack them every year and put them on the tree. Each of the little kids have 6 ornaments now; some day I'll give them to each of them for their trees.
