Time to put up the Christmas stuff! (I'm probably the last one I know to do this! We always wait til after dd's birthday.) I gathered them all to one spot today and will box them up in the next few days. I was actually happy to dust today!
We put ours up on New Year's Day -- for some reason, that just seemed to be the tradition in my family. Of course, my daughter has noticed every morning since then when she comes downstairs that "Christmas is gone!"
Thanks for visiting my photo blog; I've added yours to mine, if that's alright....
Since starting the Center I have to have everything put away right after Epiphany, but I used to get the 'Christmasy' stuff put away firat, but leave the Nativities and other Epiphany decorations up until Ash Wednesday. So it doesn't seem that late to me :)
OK, so all of mine is still up. I'll probably take it down this weekend, though. I always feel like I need to leave our stuff up longer because we are always so busy with the business before Christmas that things like decorating don't get done until right before the holiday which doesn't leave much time to enjoy it if I take it down right away.

Becky, how did your epiphany go? I've been meaning to ask. :)

Mine is down, but the old stuff isn't back up yet. It does make dusting easier!
