Christmas put-aways 101 — MidWeek Blues —

Why do Christmas decorations always come down and get put away much slower than taking out and putting up?

While Mrs. Jim worked on the tree and the household decorations my job was simpler--just bring in the outside stuff, pack it up, and put it away. Then, of course, my other job was to help with the inside things under Mrs. Jim's directions. I must say that she did most of that and worked very hard at it.

Here is the harder part of the outside stuff:

First I had to get the snowman stuffed back into the little box that it came in. That turned out very simple, just stuff it in and tape the box shut.

Then the two white deer had to be disassembled and boxed and the lights put in their places. That all worked fine too until I stepped on one of the lights. Between a pair of needle nose pliers, a broom and dustpan, and the vacuum cleaner that went fairly quickly still.

I didn't picture everything but these were items either with blue or that caused me some problem. We did have an outside little tree blow over and break the base I had made for it. It too is packed except for the broken base. I will construct a more sturdy base for next year.

If you want to post a MidWeek Blues picture, go get directions from Rebecca by clicking on the logo picture on the right. She has a Mr. Linky and good directions . Just do what I did.

Or do less. All she requires is a BLUE PICTURE or BLUE THOUGHT, you don't have to write.
