It was a good idea in theory

[stephm0188]

Three fullsize Christmas trees and three dozen Christmas village houses were a really great idea when I was all "YAY CHRISTMASTIME!!!"

Now? Not so much.

Oh yea, been there. At least it goes away faster than it goes out b/c you don't have to "place things" - KWIM? I took our 2 trees down in about 2 hours.

Are you my neighbor? lol

She's been taking down and putting away Christmas for days, and is definitely not enjoying it like she did when she brought it all out.

I only have a couple of small trees and a 9 1/2 ft tree to undecorate, but I really need to go through all of our Christmas stuff and organize it so that we can organize it efficiently, and I am not looking forward to it. Especially because I need to find all of it first. :?

I have not been looking forward to taking down our decorations, either. I am bringing up one box at a time and doing it piece-meal. This seems to combat feeling overwhelmed for me, so I'm not procrastinating as much as I normally do. I will be a little sad to see it all taken down, though.

I think part of my problem this year is storage. Two of the trees are new, and so were a bunch of the decorations. We were out of town through New Years and now I can't find the plastic ornament storage totes I like. I know I could make my own dividers, but blegh. I'm really working on sorting it all and putting it away based on room to make it easier for next year. I need to go get more storage boxes.

I'm to the point I don't even enjoy putting it out. I have some nice Christmas stuff and I like the house when it's decorated. I got very little out this year. Next year I need to hire someone to put it up and take it down.

I just took mine down this morning. 1 tree and only 8 houses. I can't imagine tripling the job!

Mines still up because I'm dreading putting it away
