On Thanksgiving Thursday, Andrew and Thomas took all the Christmas boxes down from the attic and put them in our garage. I had no intention of beginning to decorate that evening, but I needed the boxes to be handy and they were leaving the next day. I didn't get much done the next day either, between breakfast out, an afternoon of volunteering, and a quick after-dinner drink with some friends.
It then took me ALL DAY Saturday and Sunday to continue decorating. Notice I didn't say finish...I don't think I'm there even yet! Granted, I've also been working on Christmas cards and the band fundraiser chaos, and working basically full time, but it was yesterday before I finally put all the tubs back in the garage. And it doesn't mean that things are all put together. It just means the tubs are back in the garage. I still have items that are normally up that need to be stored somewhere. So the tubs came into the house nine days ago, and I'm still not living in a house put together.
However, there are tons of people who seem to be able to decorate in a day...how is this possible? I am sure that perhaps the entire family helps, but I still don't understand how it gets done in a day. I am ready for less clutter, but not sure when I will actually get there!
