Taking the decs down yet?

Took the tree and room decs down on Saturday. DD2 took it in her camper van back to the garden centre we bought it from to dump there and they dispose of it. She had 3 trees altogether , 1 each for her and her sister too. She came back on Sunday afternoon to take down the outside lights she put up for me. It looked very bare . Still have lots of candles on small tables I like to light them in the winter evenings

Everything dwn and packed but won't go up the loft until I have been through the cards and cut up next year's gift labels.

The cards are still on the dining room table.
I need to make a list

I bagged up the cards and put them in a drawer, ready to make gift labels when I feel up to it.Glad to see others do the same, thought it was just thrifty old me ( like the Queen, saving bits of string)?

Tell us more larikon.

Re OP, I've still got a little postbox with a robin on it by the side of the tv. Keep looking at it and saying "must put that away".......

Actually its a phone box.

(little things are important)

I re- read all the cards yesterday and made some gift tags for next year and recycled the rest.

I have made labels from mine using the pinking shears inherited from MiL.I have mainly used the glittery ones as they cannot be recycled.We still have one Christmas card up: a hand made one from DG1 who is autistic. All his cards feature our black cat.All those familiar with autism will understand.
