Christmas is over for another year

That's a wrap, Christmas is over! 

Sorry to see the end of Christmas but I am well back in work and it's time for everything to get back to normal. While Ciaran played padel, I started taking down the tree and decorations.

Here they are all are nicely boxed and bagged up.

These boxes are for all my tree decorations. They have a box within the box to make two layers with grids for each little decoration.

I pack away my Christmas jumpers with my decorations.

Here's the bare spot where the tree was. Tomorrow, Ciaran will bring the long cushion for this spot down from upstairs and will put it back in position.

Also, Ciaran will move all of the boxes to the storage area in the floor of the hallway. When we rebuilding the house he designed a hatch in the hallway that opens up to a "crawl space" that we can use for storage. It's a very convenient spot for the decorations.

Sad to see all the decorations down but I will leave the lights up in the garden for a few more days. It's fierce cold at the moment so I think the lights brighten the area and make it feel less Wintery.

So that's it for another year!
