Today was spent storing away all the precious ornaments and other decorations that are lugged out each year to adorn the house. Why is it that after you pack away Christmas, the house looks rather barren? It didn’t look that way before I put Christmas out on display. It is the lack of Christmas wonder? For a brief period every year when all the decorations and pretty flashing lights come out, we see the world once again as we did as children. Maybe that’s why the house looks so bland after its all put away. We no longer see the world like children anymore and are plunged back to reality. Oh, what a reality it is. Looking forward to the last few days of 2010 so that I can pack them away somewhere never to be found again and bring out a bright, shiny and new year.
