I've been exhausted and borderline sick all weekend or all of this would be taken care of by now.

They had cocoa by the tree and sang "Oh Christmas Tree," and then drew assignments out of a hat for a speedy cleanup. <br><br> When it was done they each opened their last present!<br><br> Right now I wish I had someone to help me take it all down, for one thing, and an awesome surprise present that would totally make my day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317657106509563621.post-36411817136720231742008-01-06T23:54:00.000-08:002008-01-06T23:54:00.000-08:00What a good idea.

I Don't know about your neck o' the woods, but around here, there's been a nasty bug making the rounds and almost everyone I know has had some version of it.<br><br><i>Marty</i>, what a lovely idea. A nice present at the end of the "take down" would make my day, too. What I really like is the drawing of assignments for a speedy cleanup. Funny how everyone disappears when it's time to put things away!<br><br><i>bella</i>, I do relish sitting with a warm fire and the room darkened except for the tree lights and flames from the fireplace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
