FINALLY! The boxes are starting to return to their hiding places, under the stairs, nestled in the attic and “hanging” out in the rafters of the garage.
There is, however, an annual mystery about this event...every year the amassed array of ornaments, garlands, beads, nativities and our “blue santa’s” (many of which have their own box) seem NOT to match up with the box or bin they arrived in?
Well actually they do...BUT the dedicated boxes seem to eventually be found in another tub (every different type is assigned to a tub). So the mystery is really how we can (we think) carefully unpack and display this plethora of Christmas decorations, carefully segregating the myriad of dedicated boxes and bins...only to have then ”re-arrange” themselves?
Eleven months of the year they quietly and patiently stay where they are assigned during the storage process....but for that one month they are collectively stored in one bay of the garage they celebrate this gathering (in one place) by playing musical chairs, then laughingly enjoy the consternation of the packers as the try to corral this assemblage back into their assigned boxes and tubs.
So...for now they are quietly resting in their assigned place...waiting for the game to begin again next Christmas...”Merry Christmas.
