Procrastinating Tree

Today is February 1st... and our Christmas tree is still hanging around.  I think it is starting to take root in our living room. 

I wasn't in the Christmas mood this year and could have cared less about having the tree up.  There isn't a lot of space in our living room and it would make it more cramped, but my daughter had to have one up.  She said she would put it up and take it down.  Fine, as long as I didn't have to deal with it. lol

Well.. it is February 1st and the tree is still standing next to my chair.  We have been busy and the tree is the last thing we think of.  It has been at the bottom of the list of things to do.  But, now we are into the second month of the new year.  Although, we could leave it up and then we wouldn't have to deal with it in December.... no.. don't think I can take it forever.  It is time to cut it down. lol

We do know someone who has his house decorated all year long for Christmas.  He is a huge collector and his Christmas things are vintage and beautiful.. not saying ours isn't nice... but a lot of his is from the 1800's.  Ours is more like from the 50's and 60's which is neat too.

My daughter hasn't been feeling well lately and I have been worried about her.  She said she would take it down today but I know she wasn't really up to it.   I told her to wait we will get it down later.  I could try and take it down but the problem with that is, the stuff on the tree is hers.   I am not  sure what or how to pack it up and she is pretty picky about her Christmas stuff.

Even her cat has been trying to help take the tree down.  Jakie will sit on my lap and lean over and start knocking the stuff off the tree.  That can drive me crazy he is such a stinker. 

So we will continue living with the tree until we get a chance to get it down.  I hope we aren't the only ones with their tree up.  Maybe sometime this week we can get it down.. in between everything else we have going on.  I really need extra hours in my day!

Until tomorrow.. take care
