Away it all goes

When mom put up the Christmas tree in Dad's house last month, one of the first things dad asked was 

"So your going to take it down later too, right?"

What a party pooper.

Well...it's now later. Later then later, even. Mom had wanted to get it down before 2016 came around...a fresh start and all...but...well...

As you can see behind me it didn't happen and the tree has still been in the TV room.

So she drug up all these boxes and things from down in the basement and brought them into where the tree was.

...and then off came all the candy canes, lights, and ornaments.

All back into all the boxes.

Of course I helped.

It didn't take long before the tree was all naked again.

And this is what Christmas looks like for all the decorations for the better part of the year. 

See you again in another 12 months, Christmas stuff,
