Packing Christmas

I love Christmas and it's always a little sad packing up the decorations (not to mention a lot of work).  At the same time, once everything is packed away and tucked back into the closet the house feels more orderly, then I start noticing all the gifts that haven't found a place to live in our home.  The kiddos weren't very excited with the pile of stuff I left waiting in the box for them to put away.  


Now the decorations put away, I have a couple of pictures to hang up where the tree was and some of my other decor items that I take down to make room for the Christmas decorations.  I still have wrapping paper and gift bags in several rooms of the house waiting to be returned to the gift wrap closet.


All these things need to be done so I can feel normal.  As soon as I'm normal (relatively speaking), it will be time to play!
