I did not have enough time with my tree before christXmas, so i'll leave it up a little bit longer...although hubby has been floating the idea of this weekend.........but he doesn't do any of the work, so it's really up to me.
but down came the villages save 1, and all the other hanging items and pictures and doornob hangers and whatnot have been removed and put in their new storage bins in the basement!!!
I did have a heart attack moment when I couldn't find some of my little boxes, but hubby had put them in a different box - he was able to quickly find them when he got home, tho.
next year, I won't have to wait for him to help get bins down from the attic so I can decorate. whooo hooo!
