I have a confession. It is time to admit I have had a lazy start to the year.
Maybe because we bought an artificial tree this year, maybe because I didn't want to waste the last day of the holidays by packing or cleaning, or maybe because Mr BB has been too busy to get into the loft in time, we definitely missed our twelfth night deadline for taking down the decorations.
I enjoy packing things back neatly, in original packaging and carefully labelled boxes, treasured ornaments tissue wrapped for another year. But tonight I just had to strip it all down, as I yearned to see the clear walls again and could no longer wait for the boxes to be fetched. I grabbed plastic bags and organised them into sections so they could be easily decanted to their correct boxes when we get into the loft. And there they sit, on the landing, hopefully for a very limited time.
I want to be able to look forward now to the year, have a deep clean and enjoy the fresh walls and space.
Does anyone else have decorations that are still adorning the house?
