OK, I'm ready for Christmas!

I wasn't ready last week.

I am now.
Do I really have to take down the tree?

We made a flying trip to Utah LATE Christmas Eve and back home on Christmas Day.
Loved being with some of the family.
Don't love not being with ALL of the family.
Call me selfish.

They will all be here for New Year's Eve.
I should probably warn the neighbors.

    I know what you mean about the one day trip, we have done that too. I too am selfish, I always want the whole family here, together! Have a super great New Year together! :D

    Keep the tree up. Haven't you seen people who keep their lights up all year long? If you can make it to July, then you're closer to December, and might as well save yourself some trouble. I'm feeling the same.

    I put up all my stuff late this year too and now it's time to take it all down! Next year I hope to be more on the ball, lol!

    Good luck with all the family!!!

    I've always thought the Christmas Season should be at least two months long. By the time you get in the swing of things, it's over...

    Have a great New Years!!

    I am SO with you... I almost didn't look forward to Christmas this year because I was NOT READY. How does that even happen??? Glad you get everyone for New Year's... we had to settle for "mostly everyone." Happy New Year!!!

    I looked at the title and thought, "Oh good! She's ready for Christmas." Then I looked at the date and laughed.

    Hey... Leave your tree up as long as you want. ;)

    Me too! I can totally relate. I feel like I completely missed Christmas! My tree is still coming down this weekend, though.
    Happy New Year!

    I didn't want to take my trees down either. I had them all set on timers so the lights would be on when I got up each morning and I loved coming downstairs to them.

    I've done those crazy trips to UT before - a few times!

    Hope you have a great time this weekend!

    What a cute ornament. Just leave it up for awhile. We work so hard at decorating that I hate to pack it all away so soon. I will be waiting at least another week. So glad you got to be with family and how awesome that you will be with everyone tomorrow night. Enjoy!

    I can't wait for it all to end and get back to my nice cozy rut!
    No plans for New Years Eve.....NONE!
    Take down the holiday menagerie and revel in the blank canvas ahead:)
    And I fully agree, about the totem pole idea.

    That was a quick trip! Glad you got to be with a lot of your family. We took our Christmas stuff down today.. Now everything looks so empty.

    I hate seeing the Christmas and Holiday Season come to an end. It came way too fast and is going by even faster. I am always sad when I have to take the tree and decorations down.

    I'm glad you had a nice Christmas and hope you really enjoy your New Years celebration.
