We started de-decorating Sunday. I wasn’t planning on starting so soon but the mood hit and once I got going, I couldn’t stop. I’ve been working on it for 3 days and we’re about 75% done. We just have 3 trees to de-ornament and dismantle, then outside lights. Not bad progress for only 4 days into January.
But I’m old and tired and my knees and back hurt from all the bending and moving so I have to take Advil every day.
Tonight, we celebrate our progress with cocktails. Jeffrey’s having his usual (Tanqueray martini) but I’m having a Gimlet with Rangpur Tanqueray. It’s rather lovely!

75%? I didn’t think you’d be done till at least St Patrick’s Day!

Not much dismantling Christmas decorations here. Just put away two ceramic Christmas trees.

You sure make fast work of the de-decorating. I figured that would have to be a week-long project. Tanqueray must help.

I always feel sad when I take down Christmas decorations. I didn’t decorate this year, mainly because I still miss my partner (may he rest in peace) and I just didn’t have it in me. But typically, taking down the decorations is a melancholy moment for me.

It would be for me if I didn’t love our year round house decor as well. I’m sure it’s harder this time of year for you. Sending love and hugs your way.

I have to take at least one Advil every day for my back pain. Advil works for me, Tylenol doesn’t.

I had forgotten how many decorations went up this year. That’s impressive that so much is already done.

I am not a fan of taking down decorations either.

It’s a lot of work putting them up and taking them down, but we enjoy them so much it’s worth it.
