On the 22nd Day of Christmas...

I suppose it's time to take down the Christmas decorations. Yes, I'm a little late coming to that conclusion.

But at least I haven't plugged any of them in during the past 10 days. I just haven't had time to do more than take the wreath off the door and the candelabra out of the window. The obvious stuff, visible from the street.

Today, I took down the everything else...except the tree.

I know I can't keep hiding the tree behind the dressing screen, but just the thought of packing up those fragile decorations makes me wish every day could be Christmas.
