Traditionally we decorate the saturday after, with carols on the stereo and mugs of cocoa.

I'm already dreading climbing those stairs to the attic to get my stuff out. I love, love Christmas decorating, but now that I'm working this year, I won't have nearly the time to devote to it, so it will probably take me weeks to get it done this time.

Its the taking it down I mind. So depressing and gloomy, I always go buy myself a big bouquet of fresh flowers to offset the depression of January. But, cant think about that now!
