Packing up the decs....

I took down all the decorations today, shortly after Gordon picked up Mum to take her home. They come down quick enough, but I hate the actual packin up, wrapping in tissue paper, putting them in their little boxes, then into bigger boxes, and then into the wardrobe in the spare room, to sit in silence, hibernating, and waiting til their time comes round again ... But once it's done, and all the bits of tinsel and glitter have been hoovered away then the place looks so clean and spacious and white ... ready for the year to begin. The artistic challenge today was to use something that would have been packed or flung away, so I've used one of the Christmas napkins, and a little tree decoration. I find this such a sad and maudlin thing to do, it's hard to get back into 'normal' mode. And we finish our journals tomorrow, which is both an achievement and kind of sad too....
