That's IT! I'm totally taking the other half of the ornaments off the tree This Very Second.

You have a disco ball in your house. You have no reason to fret over decorative issues ever again. Fact.
PS My Christmas tree? I have no idea, I didn't actually get around to buying one.

No worries, I just took my tree down yesterday. And that's the only Christmas decoration I had up.

Christmastime two years ago I laid fresh pine boughs along the top of the wooden valance above my gigantic living room window.

Last week I took those beautifully dried boughs down and burned them in the fireplace with the wrapping paper that had been there since (the most recent) Christmas morning.

All is well. Oprah is no help.

Sounds like a job for FlyLady.

My tree is still up. It makes me happy. But the candy canes on there won't last long.

I think we are all in denial.

The same thing happenedin my house, except I left a box or two outside and ruined them. they are still there. icouldnt manage the Christmas stuff this year. I also made the elders take the tree down ( they live in our guest apt and offered to do it for me ). Otherwise it would still be there

We need an intervention.

My mom's Christmas tree is still up...and has been for about two years.

Feel better?

Breakthrough!!

I pulled the tinsel trees that were on my porch into the house! At least my neighbors think we're de-Christmasing.

Only the tinsel trees got moved to my living room. So now there isn't just one Christmas tree, there are five.

My little nephew used to go around the house muttering "hard level" to himself after a grueling round of some video game. So now that is our go-to saying for things like this. Tree still up? Hard level. Pictures still not hung on wall? Hard level.

We also quote Phoebe in Friends when she tries crocheting. She throws down her single chain string and yells "Too hard, too hard!".

My tree? Still up. deeeeep sigh

I brought out the stockings. I bought hooks for the fireplace that has no mantle. The stockings laid on the living room couch for the entire holiday season until they were filled and then propped upright on the couch. Now they're lying on the couch again.

oh thank you. thanks for the honesty. so refreshing. so glad to not see another post of someone's house and how amazing the decor was.

THIS is the story of my life! And, incidentall, this is also why my house is always a wreck--half finished projects that require more effort and energy than I have at the moment to give. The intentions are there, it's just, you know.
