Am I a Scrooge?

[mooveenut57]

I hate to be a party pooper regarding Christmas . . . but, since I quilt in my dining room, I CAN'T WAIT to put away all this Christmas stuff! Time to get cracking on some sewing. First on my list? Jenny's Missouri Star quilt!! I think I'll watch the video right now to get in the mood

My mother-in-law took down the tree day after Christmas. She couldn't stand the mess the needles made. I used artificial trees. Left them alone as long as adult kids were enjoying and cats weren't climbing or eating. Kids usually took things down the weekend after New Years.

I've got a tabletop prewired artificial. I just shove it in a plastic bag and store it whenever I want to.
I made a nice mini tree skirt for it. That gets plastic bagged on its own and tied to the tree.

I take my Christmas stuff down the weekend after Christmas. I love Christmas decorations but cannot stand the clutter of all of that extra "stuff" around.

I no longer have any reason to drag it all out and put it up...........so I don't.

Nope I pulled down all my stuff to add room for the same reason! Christmas was great but it's time to get sewing again!!

Scrooge!?! Uh, NO! Mine is usually taken down the day after Christmas, however this year we're having a belated Christmas due to DS/DIL's jobs! Saturday will see it all gone and packed away! We really downsized all that stuff this year, tabletop tree, minimal decorations in the LR and DR. And large plastic, sealable bags are the bomb, stuff, close, store and go!

Lol... no - I was ready to get the tree out yesterday; our living room is small and I can't put my new to me sewing cabinet where I want it until the tree goes. My 19DD put on a sad face, so I agreed that it could stay up for New Years Eve... it goes tomorrow
I adore Christmas decorations, but like to keep it simple... it won't take long to put them away tomorrow.

I usually keep my decorations up until right after the new year, but this year I just wanted to get back to normal so everything came down and was packed yesterday. Today, I will put it all in the attic and be done with it until next year. I, too, want to start sewing and would not be able to do it with the idea of having to clean all that up over my head. Now it's done and after a quiet night with hubby bringing in the New Year, I can get up tomorrow and head to the sewing room. Happy New Year everyone.

My tree will come down tomorrow and the decorations will be put away. I didn't do a lot of decorating this year.

I couldn't wait to have "my" space back. I love Christmas but it looks so cluttered
for those few weeks.
