Project 365: Jan 8

Goodbye Christmas 2006.

Part of me thinks it's a bit sick to have this much Christmas stuff. The other part of me loves every little bit of it, right down to the toilet paper tube Santa that Katherine made last year at the Children's Museum and the beer bottle cap wreath (!) that Caroline made in preschool when she was 2!

I really dislike putting it all away too because the house looks so bare without all its festive decorations. We'll miss the Santa shelf with its many Santas (both old and new, store bought & homemade), the festive red bows and silver bells strung over green garland on the rail, and even the fake candy garland (leftover from Caroline's Harry Potter birthday party last year).

With all of this stuff going up into the attic tonight, I wonder what things will have to be brought down to make room!
