This past Saturday we took down the Christmas tree and put everything away. In fact I got to do it twice: once in the morning at our church and again in the afternoon at home.
It felt great to complete the task for the year. But this year something was different...the kids clamored to go into the attic. I guess this is part of growing up. When they were small they would hide as soon as the drop stairs opened. Now it's another story.
They were a big help, but I hope this is not just a Tom Sawyer like passing fancy. Thankfully Christmas is once a year, so the preparation and put-away can be events instead of chores...I hope...
