Is it really up if you don’t let anyone know?
Is a blog post actually written before you type a word and click publish? Or slap your head at 5PM because you forgot to actually come back and write it.
Early this morning I sent a vast social media network down the proverbial rabbit hole searching for the “perfect” meme for today. No one could find it…..*runs to check again if anyone posted it*
Nope, no luck.
Collectively, HOURS wasted searching…and conveniently NOT taking down the tree or other decorations. Does everything really need to be individually wrapped in bubble-wrap or tissue paper?
YES! YES it does! There’s a small fortune and irreplaceable memories in these shinny balls, twinkling lights and flocked bows of greenery. They will not be sacrificed to the rush of cram-it-in-the-rubbermaid-we’ll-do-better-next-year mentality. As God is my witness, I’ll leave it up until Easter before that happens.
OK, I’ll leave it up until tomorrow or when Kate gets on her way back to college.
If you have completed the de-Santification, process I bow to you.
If like me you are looking at it and thinking “Just put a throw around that. No one will notice.” You have my sympathy.
If you happen to find the meme regarding Christmas decorations – 12 hours to put up, 12 days to take down. I’ll send you cookies!
Happy Friday! Have a safe and wonderful weekend! Tune in tomorrow for another episode of Foolish Notion.
So….is it just me? Tell me it’s not just me?

Haha, this post is so great! I totally feel the same way. Fortunately for me, my hubby is a total neat-freak and took the decorations down a few days ago. Yay, it’s like it just magically happened somehow. I feel so blessed. *wipes away a single tear* 😀

My DH looks at me and gives a weather report. Something about moving storage boxes in an ice storm. Sheesh!!

It is not just you. The heating and air repairman was here yesterday fixing an electrical issue in my heating system that takes on great importance when the temps are in single digits and he said, “That’s a really pretty tree. You gonna keep that up til Easter? Hahaha.”
I told him I just might.

On a slow day at work (too much snow to traverse the town safely), I’ve continued to look for said meme. My brain tells me I’ve seen it but that might be a lie. Blame the overloaded brain. Our trees didn’t go up until the 18 th, so I told myself I didn’t need to take them down on New Year’s Day. Besides, I had company. A few more days won’t make a difference. Epiphany! I’ll take it all down then. Nope. Well, it’s all on the table now, safely confined. The fake tree is up in the attic. The real tree was just delivered to the nearby animal sanctuary where the critters will happily munch away. Rubbermaid totes stand at the ready. Today. It must be today. sigh Oh shiny! Black Sails marathon is on!
