I bet a lot of women have the same mental conversations I do during Christmas decorating…
“Gees, do we have a lot of containers of Christmas stuff!” (as you haul the stuff from the attic)
“Remember what we were doing when we bought that ornament?” (as you hang the first ornament and nostalgia kicks in)
“Ohhh…. (child’s name) made this ornament when he was in kindergarten…” (as you continue to hang ornaments)
“This is the most beautiful tree ever!” (after the tree is decorated)
And a few weeks later — when the party’s over…
“Boy, I hate to put this stuff away.” (when you start dragging containers from the attic…again)
“The house looks kind of bare and depressing now that it’s back to normal.” (when you finish undecorating it)
“Oh well, it’s a new year, time flies, and pretty soon it’ll be Christmas again!” (as you have a left-over cookie to console yourself)
