DE-decorating
#24
Why go through the trouble of decorating everything so pretty to take it down so fast? I leave everything around until the 6th of January, the feat of the Magi or Epiphany day. When I was a kid that was the biggest day of the Christmas season and it was celebrated big. It sill is in Puerto Rico. My kids look forward to it. After that, everything can come down.

Christmas tree is down off the ceiling (only place I had to put one since DS & DGS moved in) and all the decorations are in the boxes. The wreaths are in their storage bags. Everything is ready to go to the storage shed. With all the "extra" stuff in my house I had to have the space back.

My house was de-decorated by 9:00 AM the day after Christmas. It was even dusted and vacuumed! I love the decorations up before Christmas, but when the day is over, it's time to take them down. I do, however, leave the Christmas quilts draped over the couches and chairs until the end of January.

I don't take anything down until Epiphany. My Christmas village is the worst to take down and put away. Didn't do nearly as much this wears as I did before, so not as much to put away. The Nativity is the first thing up and the last thing down.
