Using mostly artificial greens this year makes it easy to keep everything hanging. Once I run out of Frasier Fir scented candles & room spray, we'll have to call it quits for the year. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-50121346118863220362015-01-07T16:26:28.228-08:002015-01-07T16:26:28.228-08:00You're such a non judgmental friend!

I do like how much cleaner everything looks once all the Christmas stuff is put away!

It would get as much attention; I laughed out loud. I agree with Kris, I as soon as the Christmas music dies down it's time to look at plant catalogs for spring. chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-46331439585555868842015-01-07T11:58:04.249-08:002015-01-07T11:58:04.249-08:00Those lights are wonderful!

Taking it all down can be a downer, but just remember the words of the song in the Seseme Street Christmas show (yes, that old one), "Keep Christmas with you, all through the year" , and I believe it was the Grinch who said "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a ....tub". :-)<br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-84035265988169604122015-01-07T10:04:48.852-08:002015-01-07T10:04:48.852-08:00Love the lights but can't imagine the work!

Instead of thinking of it as letting Christmas go, perhaps you can think of it as preparing the way to usher spring in.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-1538529251138235322015-01-07T09:20:00.961-08:002015-01-07T09:20:00.961-08:00They did a great job and have a lot more patience ...They did a great job and have a lot more patience than we do.

In 2013 we went out frequently to look at Christmas lights. Christmas past we were unmotivated and never went at all. He-Who-Gets-a-Notion strung lights around the porch for the first time EVER.
