Well we have enjoyed another Christmas and have seen in the New Year.
Christmas was lovely for us this year. I always like to get the decorations up early - at the beginning of December but I don't know why it seems to take three times as long to take them down and put them away again. Nothing ever seems to fit easily back into the box it came out of so I have only half done the job. All the beautiful baubles off the tree have been lovingly wrapped in tissue paper. I have removed the lights and tinsel and packed away the Christmas wreath and most of the Christmas ornaments. The reindeer and sleigh lights are waiting for David to get home as try as I might I just could not dismantle them or squeeze them back into their box properly.
Still have all the Christmas cards to take down and my new nativity set to put away. I hate the way the house looks so empty and bare once all the decorations are removed.
Oh just noticed another couple of decorations (not exactly small ones either). Funny isn't it how you keep thinking you have put everything away and then you stumble across something else.
Some of the decorations we had out this year were really past their best and looking quite tired. A Musical Santa with batteries that have leaked, a little robin who has fallen on his perch in his a snow-globe etc. so I decided to have a little bit of a cull. Doesn't hurt to make some room for any new decorations I might stumble across and be unable to resist.
Anyway Nat is at a wonderful age now where we can make decorations together. He was really helpful taking the baubles off the tree while I wrapped them.
The wind is howling outside and the rain keeps falling in torrential showers. We have weather warnings in place for more winds, rain and flooding. It is nice to be wrapped up warm inside but if it was a brighter- drier day it would be nice to get out for some fresh air.
Am feeling quite lethargic today - lots to do but not much energy to do it. You know when you get to that level of tiredness that you feel slightly drugged. That's how I am feeling!
My back has been playing me up recently so I have not slept as well as I would like.
Nat has lots of new games and puzzles so I think it is time for a mug of coffee and playtime with my little boy!!
