The taking down of a Christmas tree is seldom a pleasant event. Yes, it's necessary, and yes, there's that knowledge that after it's done, things can get back where they belong and the room regains a sense of comfortable order, but there's none of that festive merriment to look forward to. It's just a pedestrian act of housekeeping.
But this year, it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience, thanks to Sonya who came down back in December to raise and decorate the tree and returned today for dismantling duties.
I know, I know, you're appalled that it's been up until now. So am I, but deal with it.
In any case, having someone here boxing up ornaments (and occasionally searching madly for that little one that is somewhere on the tree but is managing somehow to remain out of sight) was very much enjoyable. Thanks for coming down to finish the job, Sonya!

It's ok, Jerome. It's only a couple weeks past Ukrainian Christmas!
When are you coming to help take down my decorations? They've been up since LAST Christmas...

Hmmm. How long could it take to remove three cards and a bow?
I'm just kidding. There is no bow.
(Unless you're thinking of taking down your all-season snowman greeter!)
Hey, let's not go crazy here, some things are sacred :)
