Christmas back in the boxes  by sarah19

Christmas back in the boxes

It's that time.....all the pretty stuff and memory stuff back in its place......wondering how much may have changed by the time we're getting them out again.
But I do love the packing things away as I spent a lot of time a few years ago writing labels for the different groups of things to tell the stories about where they came from and when....so it's lovely to remember and even get in touch with some. A few nights ago we called a lovely American friend we hadnt been in touch with for a while aand hadn't seen for 20 years!! But I always think of her at this time of year because of two lovely tree ornaments.
Three good things
1. Appointment with GP about my very inflamed eyelids and puffy eye area....no photo of me today 😔
2. A lovely haircut at short notice!!
3. Tidy sitting room....looks quite minimalist....relatively speaking!!
You take such wonderful care in the packing away of your decorations, Sarah. Lovely.

My Christmas decorations are back in the boxes too. Only the cards may stay for a while.

I took down the cards and packed the decorations away today too although I don't take as much care as you do.

Thank you for your lovely comments. The first year - when I made the labels - was the one that took time but now it's an activity that I enjoy and doesn't take long! Getting the boxes to the loft takes much longer as they often sit on the upstairs landing for several weeks! Hee hee!!
