Today’s the day. I have to get all the Santas (there are lots) and other Christmas stuff down and packed away. Tomorrow I go for the first ablation procedure for my back. A few folks I know who have had this done say it worked for them--but they also say there will be pain and soreness for the first couple of days. So I want to get this done today so I don’t have to worry about it later.
It’s very wet, dark, and cloudy--the kind of day that makes me just want to cuddle up with a good book and a cuppa and do nothing. But I have vowed to get this chore done, and get it done I will.
I have seriously considered (I mean seriously) leaving everything up until the next Christmas season. The years fly by so fast these days that Holidays 2020 will be here in no time at all. But since that is considered tacky around here, I’ll take it down--and put it all up again the day after tomorrow (or so it will seem).
New Years (Eve and Day) were quiet here. I made a pot of chicken wild rice soup for New Years Eve, but we ordered Pizza for New Years Day. No peas and collards. I have them to cook for later. Maybe today if I still have some steam after the decorations are put away.
“They say” that whatever one does on New Years Day will set the tone for what one does for the rest of the year. So I made a point of doing some quilt sewing. I got another row of “Joanne’s Pyramids” finished. But then it was time for Bama to play Michigan in the Citrus Bowl, so I had to shut down the sewing machine and turn on the tv. Congrats to the Crimson Tide on their win.
OK, time to get started. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Roll on Crimson Tide!! Well done at the Citrus Bowl!!!!
I've given serious thought to leaving Christmas things up until next Christmas but methinks they would get dusty, so have brought their boxes in to pack them away during our coming rainy days. DH and I were commenting that we seem to have more memento ornaments and antique ornaments from my parent's and maternal grandparent's Christmases than we do plain colored round ornaments. That's okay with me!
I haven't gotten back to sewing yet but am glad to read you're making progress on Joanne's Pyramids. Good for you!
Hugs!
