This weekend the tree is coming down! All the ornaments and decorations will be exclaimed over (again) and wrapped up carefully to survive the next 11 months buried in the storage unit only to reemerge next December 1st, 5th, 12th… oh whatever… to be exclaimed over (yet again). While Halloween is my most favorite of holidays, Christmas is a close second and I always experience a small twinge of sadness once everything is taken down and put away.
