Putting Everything Away

[Merry Christmas Darling]

I've packed my bay window decor, my tree and ornaments. The front door wreath and Advent wreath are also put away. It's kind of difficult with this injured knee.

How much have you done?

[SilverBells]

I haven't done anything yet. I usually wait until Epiphany Day.

[Jordan]

Haven't put away anything at home yet. Just got back from holidays, and I'm off tomorrow for a research trip to London, so I won't likely get to start putting things away until I return next week. Really not looking forward to taking down my tree! :(

[ornamentmaven]

Took down my village today; yesterday I took down the mantle decs, the nativity, the Santa collection, the snowman collection, and the nutcrackers and misc. decs. Tomorrow I'll tackle the tree and bathroom. I have to wait for the snow to melt before I can take down the outside decs.

[tinkerbell2]

Well mine is all down now..:christmastree:

[angelpugs2]

mines down as well and put away.:elf3:

[laura_d]

I put all mines away yesterday....stood on a pin too. Be careful taking them down! hehe

[Home alone 2]

Taking my Bedroom decs down now . Tree will stay up until the 6th though.

[Crazymike1965]

I just started taking a few items down today. I have 2 weeks of work to do to take everything down. Serves me right Lol

[ornamentmaven]

Well got the tree down today. Still have to un-decorate the bathroom and outdoors

[SilverBells]

All done :elf3::sad elf:

[ornamentmaven]

Done except for the few things that are frozen in the snow outside!

[MinnesotaMike]

Inside, we finished LAST weekend. Outside, I've barely touched anything. We're in the harshest cold snap so far this year! I'm not going to go out and climb on a ladder, and pull up frozen, buried extension cords until it's a bit warmer.

[ornamentmaven]

Agreed Mike

[Merry Christmas Darling]

I'm getting closer to being done. I've been lazy. But yesterday I took a lot of boxes to the basement!

[Jordan]

Our tree is STILL up, here. I've been out of the country lately, so we haven't had a chance to take it down. It's coming down this weekend, though. I did put the nutcrackers away two nights ago. :elf2:

[Jordan]

Well, the tree and all the decorations are down and put away for another year. Always a hard thing to move on after Christmas. Left the lights up and on outside, though. A sort of last hurrah. :snowman:

Funny...there is a house on my block that has one little string of lights on their front porch. I think they are on a timer and they just forgot about them, because they are still coming on every night. My 4 year old loves to see them though! He is still asking if we can drive around and look at lights. Poor little guy.

Yeah, ours are on a timer, too. We're far from the being the last to take down the lights, though. It's been particularly snowy and cold here lately (-20 to -30 C), so people aren't itching to to get up on a ladder to take down their lights.

[MinnesotaMike]

I put away my blow molds, and other stuff that was sitting out on the ground. I am still about 2 weeks away from dragging out the ladder to snip down the awning and window lights. I had to use a hammer to un-attach a few cords that had frozen to the ground.

[ornamentmaven]

Still have a few extension cords and a strand of lights frozen in several feet of snow. Everything is disconnected but I'm not digging them out. It will just have to wait!

[MinnesotaMike]

Yeah...I unplugged everything from the main outlet I was using in the garage. That way I don't need to worry about buried cords until spring.

[JollyElfDC]

I have ongoing renovations in my condo, so all I had up this year was my snowman on the front door. He's down now. :sad elf:
I missed not having my place decorated this year, but it was much easier to only have to take down one decoration.
