I took my tree down today. It was feeling a little crowded in my living room too. Our Christmas was wonderful! We had 10 people here so it was a wee bit busy but fun anyway! My best gift was a new camera from my husband. I am still in the process of learning how to use it. Lol! Glad you enjoyed your Christmas!
My Christmas decor is still up. I’d like to take it down, but the coming down is such a pain that it will likely be up for another few days.
I’d go for the eating of all the goodies at once. It’s the tactic I take. It may not be wise, but then being wise is a bit of a drag sometimes.
Dang woman…pass your motivation this way!
I would allow yourself to eat at least one piece of heavenly chocolate a day. Can’t let it go to waste you know 😉
There are no toys on our floor, and we busted our asses cleaning up to get the decorations out, so I’m good being Christmassy for a couple more days — it’s all clean and cheerful and light-y and we’re still having company most days. I refuse to counsel skinny women on what they should do with their chocolate. 🙂
YES to Christmas decs coming down! I’m going to do it today. ooooh, I’m running out of energy just thinking about it….. but, the clutter must go so I will muster and forge ahead. I went in to this holiday season with less trepidation than usual but some none-the-less. Thoughts of my children’s disappointment plague me during the lead up to ‘The Great Annual Racket’. As is in most years they didn’t get exactly what they asked for but they loved what they did get. They’re kids right, programed for disappointment (and naturally blame their MOTHER for it) Well, it’s all over now and I can get back to my usual programming. I think I’d like to become a Buddhist just so I can forgo this feeling of pressure over one lousy day. Wow, I’m getting all philosophical and frankly negative…. apologies for my attitude, can I do that here with other Mom’s who might understand? It’s a lot of pressure for us to “make” Christmas.
I gave up sugar and flour last January so I’m thanking my stars that there is NO chocolate piled up on the counter. I’ll opt for the indulgence of more sleep! Happy New Year!
Consume all the candy immediately! That’s my plan, and it’s going swimmingly.
I’m taking down the decorations tomorrow. Good riddance.
