Packing up...

2 January 2022: Put the inside Christmas decorations away today, a job that always makes me feel ambivalent--sad that the season is over, but relieved to have everything back where it should be. Decided to leave the lights up outside for a least a couple more days. 

Remarkably--since it was in the 60s today--it is supposed to snow tomorrow. That might look pretty when the lights come on tomorrow. On my walk around the neighborhood this evening, it was clear I wasn't the only one holding onto this part of the holiday season a little longer.
