I like getting my house back to normal, but taking the decorations down is simply a chore that has to be faced - and mine are stored on the second storey of the house, so I shall be kickstarting my new fitness regime just by putting them away. grin

Just the same with long haul flights. Always seem to go on for hours longer on the way home (esp. when its NZ)

The excitement and expectation of something to look forward.
Taking them down shows that that period has now ended.
Happily for some, regrettably for others.

Also - what the hell have I done with the boxes for the little polar bears!

Why is it more tiring to take down Christmas decorations than to put them up! I have spent the morning taking them down and three boxes plus the box with the tree are sitting at the bottom of the stairs. That means 4 journeys up and down 3 flights of stairs so they can wait until tomorrow!

Now having a bit of lunch and a cup of coffee before I start on the cleaning and putting furniture back in its usual place (is there an emoji for exhausted!)
