After The Holidays



Ok...
It's over.

Christmas is over.

New Years has come and gone.

I've un-decorated my little house.



Packed up all my favorite pretty Christmas things.









All the ornaments collected over the years...




 
Gathered up
 


 
 
Boxed up


 
 
To be packed away.  :(



The Santas I love so much...






All the festive lights...




My beautiful Christmas tree...




My little office Mickey tree...

All gone. :(

Up into the attic and into the garage it will all be shunned until next Thanksgiving.  :(

Thanksgiving...ah yes...

I remember when it was Thanksgiving.

Just a few short weeks ago...

I was in a flurry of preparations.

The cooking and the baking...

 the eating, (too much eating, ugh!)...

the shopping, (never enough shopping, ha ha!)...

And I couldn't wait to get all those pretty Christmas decorations out...

Everything looked so warm and cozy.

So festive...

And now

it's all gone.

 I will miss you Christmas.

Till next year.
