take down my Christmas tree before February

past Feb.

I’m so excited. Not only the tree but all the decorations are down. My friend came over and helped me which was such a blessing!

Got it down yesterday, though I still have a bad string of lights sitting out waiting for me to diagnose it (fix or toss).

I’m not marking this “completed,” though, since there’s still next year, and the next… ;-)

What a great Christmas. It was the first time I’ve ever had my own tree to put up or take down. Needles everywhere!

Only two months later than I would have liked :-).

Maybe I’ll manage next year :-)

It was starting to rot!
