It has been a tradition for twenty years to haul out the Christmas decoration the day after Thanksgiving.
At first that wasn’t much of a problem...they all were stored in one place, under the stairs. Well as the years passed, the collection grew, pieces bought on our travels, gifts by friends and on and on. As the collection grew so did the requirement for the number of cabinets and trees to hold this growing collection.
Did I mention the “Blue Santa’s”? Years ago we bought a clever “Blue Santa’s” carved and painted from a cypress knee. That one grew into 90 (that I counted yesterday!). This collection alone requires the empting of every cabinet, shelf and piano top.
Oh...remember the storage under the stairs? We now store the boxes and crates (twenty plus) there, in the attic, and the guest room closet...and that is just the inside decorations.
The garage attic holds all the outside decorations... and that's another whole blog entry.
We are a week into the process and are just about finished and ready to put away the boxes and crates and enjoy the display.
