The last of Christmas  by boxplayer

The last of Christmas

Still waiting to be packed away, taking up space on the sofa. Didn't get to them today. Very exhausted yesterday so lay in and had a good bagel breakfast. Wished my sister happy birthday.

Tidied away some of the Christmas presents that were still in bags in the spare room and cleaned the advent calendar boxes.

Once Dave had come back from his run, cycled to the high street. Sent back my unwanted Toast sale item, got shopping from Lidl and collected my book club book from Waterstones.

At home we had a light lunch of Gregg's vegan sausage rolls and cinnamon buns before I unpacked the new bread machine and made space for it on the sideboard. Looks good.

This bit isn’t much fun. I did mine on the 6th, someone once said they should be down by then and it seems I follow rules. Hope you feel better soon
January 8th, 2025  
we don't follow rules , ours came down between christmas and new years day !!!

@phil_howcroft @rensala oh they're down alright, just need packing away. And they stay up till 12th night, no exceptions. It's not a rule, it's tradition, big difference.

@boxplayer yes tradition , I stand corrected !!!

My tree decorations came down today and are put away but leaving the bare tree up awhile longer to enjoy the lights! Also have other Christmas decor around to put away in the next few days. Hard for me to "let go" of the Christmas season now that we are finally getting some snow! LOL

Mine are coming down slowly…

The packing up isn't nearly as fun as the unpacking. The season goes too quickly.

At least they have each other for company. Until next year!

They are getting some extra time before being put away for another year.

Bye bye to the decs. Nice shot.

Christmas is not my thing, that is probably why I am not exhausted. haha.

@yaorenliu unfortunately one doesn't always have a choice in how to celebrate it...

Not putting them away led to this very nice shot so all is not lost

Super cute

@boxplayer I thought they had to be down by the 12th, not up until that day? Oh I dunno. My mum always took them down on 1st Jan, something I do too. Had enough of them by then anyway!

@blueberry1222 That's pretty much normal for me, short and sweet!
