Before I put everything back in the attic, I went through all of the old decorations, in almost every conceivable colourway, and bagged the lot up for depositing at various charity shops (most of them will only take maximum of two bags at this time of year).I even got rid of my old artificial tree!So next year I only have one bag to open and use it's contents!That's the theory anyway!Then I went back to work on Thursday and it took an entire day to put away my boss's decs.!I usually leave the cutting up of Xmas cards until the following year!Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-48857700694279987942018-01-05T20:11:55.873+00:002018-01-05T20:11:55.873+00:00I have a little crochet nativity set that stay on ...I have a little crochet nativity set that stay on the bookshelf all year round.

I have a plastic form around which I wrap my strings of lights and they manage to stay untangled! I leave my decorations and cards up until Jan. 5 or 6, and once they are taken down, then, the cards maybe recycled. As for the other questions, they are mysteries! :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-5500642034271072402018-01-05T17:43:01.847+00:002018-01-05T17:43:01.847+00:00Oh yes, my Christmas tree lights are always tangle...Oh yes, my Christmas tree lights are always tangled when I get them out each year, no matter how carefully I store them. I totally blame this conundrum on the Christmas fairies who like to play with them in the old suitcase in my loft. I have a very old fairy, presumably bought for my first Christmas in 1950, her silver frock is tarnished and her wings wobble a little, but I love her so much. She's now surrounded by bubble-wrap until next December. I hope she behaves herself in the suitcase !
