Work From Home Couple

Today is that most dreaded of days, the days when the Christmas tree comes down.

It’s not that I’ll miss the tree — or Christmas — that much. To tell you the truth, I’m a bit tired plugging and unplugging the thing every day. It’s just that I hate the work involved in putting our fake tree away for another 11 months.

Putting the tree up is one thing. Yes, it’s still a pain. But the kids like it, and they’re always eager to help and excited about seeing the ornaments again. Of course, no one is excited about seeing those same ornaments when they’re being put away. And those helpful kids are nowhere to be found.

So up to the attic I’ll go today, with bins of ornaments and Christmas tree parts. The only joy on this day? At least I won’t have to do this again for another 12 months.

Ho, ho, ho.
