Another Christmas Packed Away

Except for the lights and decorations that are outside, and buried under 3 feet of snow, another Christmas has been packed away for this year. I don't think we will see the ones outside until May.
It is always kind of sad packing all the ornaments and such back into the boxes. All the kids ornaments they got every year, the ones they made in school, the felt Christmas tree I made in 6th grade, and all my childhood memories are now all tucked safely away in the attic.
Now, we will be finding tinsel until July. It's inevitable. No matter how many times you vacuum, there is always a piece lurking somewhere. They hide while you are vacuuming, and come out when you are done. That is the only explanation I have been able to come up with. Either that or there is a tinsel fairy.
It is kind of nice having the shop closed for the winter. It gives me time to get so much done. Now that Christmas has been put away, I can get started on the husband's birthday gift. First, I have to sort out the sewing room. That is a project for tomorrow I hope.
For tonight, we will relax and watch a movie.
