Christmas is over.  New Year’s is on its way.  Taking Christmas Decorations down before the New Year is a personal choice.  Many times it has to do with when you first put up the tree.  If it is a live tree and has become a fire hazard, by all means it should be a priority.  Some like to keep it up for all of the sparkly lights and decoration at least till the New Year.

Types of Christmas Undecorators
Some of you when you take down your Christmas Decorations will just throw then in a box and deal with it next year.  Some of this can be related to how well you Christmas went.

Some had the messy box of ornaments and lights all tangled this year that you vowed when it was time, you would put it all away in an organized manner.  You want to put it away “Perfectly.”  We are so great at setting this all up.  Markers, tape, boxes, totes.  Now what?  Someone in the family is going to say, “I’m Hungry.  What’s For Dinner?”  What is for Dinner anyway?  Whoops, I forgot to take something out because I was so involved at putting away my Christmas Decorations perfectly.   Now, boxes and totes are all over the Living Room without knowing the faintest thing what will be for dinner.

Wait a minute! Did I wake up to a Shiny Sink?  Did I get dressed to shoes?  Did I make my bed?  What about Swishing & Swiping?  Are there phone calls that need to be made?  Have I put a load of laundry in the washing machine yet?  Well, have you????

The reason I wrote this so extreme is to make a point.  I have been in the same above situation so many times!  My answer to these questions?  It has always been “No” I will do it later.  That is up until this year.  This year I get to say “Yes!” to those questions!

I know many of you want to get your Christmas Decorations down, but at the expense of letting go of your Daily Habits and Routines?  Try taking your decorations down one box at a time.  If you do this before you know it you will have time to put them away by category.  Then you can label the particular box.  We have to put Christmas Decorations up in a special order- Lights first, then Garland, then Ornaments.  Well, let’s all take them off in reverse.  Ornaments is where it takes time, especially if it has its own special box.

Why not have an “Undecorating Party?”  That is what I plan to do!  My neighbor girls love all kinds of parties!  If I make it fun, It will get done!  My plans are New Years Eve if the girls will be available.  I already know, “What’s For Dinner?” on this particular day.  It will be PIZZA!!!!
Keep Flying!
