Today Teri and I took down the Christmas tree and stashed it back in the basement until the next time.  It’s kind of a sad routine; taking off all of the ornaments and wrapping the delicate ones so they don’t break.  It’s also a huge challenge putting them all back in the boxes so they fit!  Rather like a game of Tetris!  I don’t know how Teri manages to remember which ornament goes back into which box so that they all fit!  Me, I’d like to just dump them all in a jumble in one big box but Teri would have a fit, telling me that they will get broken or scratched or fibers pulled and ruin them all.  So I just humor her and help as best as I can!  Tomorrow we’ll work on taking down the house decorations and packing them away too.
