So are you one of those people that gets bummed out the day after Christmas? All of the excitement is over. All the fun Christmas shows, the decorations, the lights….<\/p>\n

I am not one of those people. The day after Christmas my tree comes down. In fact by mid-afternoon on Christmas I am ready to take it all down. It’s a wrap. <\/p>\n

I like to put decorations up early and get them down early. Especially this year, when we have so much to get done in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

I like the new year, the fresh start. <\/p>\n

What I don’t like is when January hits and I realize that I am stuck inside for the next 5 months. But hey, I am moving south. Perhaps that will be different this year as well.<\/p>\n

Christmas for us this year was a half-hearted attempt (I just couldn’t pull out every decoration, knowing that we had tons of packing looming over us) but I think we still pulled it off. Even Blake, who has had a fever and cough and on and off puking declared it a major success. I just hope he feels better soon, my back hurts from sleeping on the couch in the family room with him.<\/p>\n

Eva had a great time opening her presents and has done great with the whole idea of it all. It was fun to watch her enjoy it this year.<\/p>\n
