Packing Up Christmas

Christmas is a favourite time of the year in our house and the tradition is the decorations stay up until 6 January. Although a few pieces had already been packed away, today saw the major activity.

It was 37 degrees outside but inside it was cool and refreshing enough for the Australian Mist to take part in the goings on and to be the number one supervisor of what went where.

 Christmas 2010 was a scaled down version of our normal decorating....due in part to the DH's work commitments not allowing him to be in Victoria as he usually is in December. Then we all spent some time in Brisbane before Christmas.

Still, it did take quite a few hours to carefully wrap,  pack. and organise the storage of tree, decorations, Santas, linen and tableware.

It was lovely to have it out but now it's put away, there is that "new year" feeling in the house.
