christmas is over

 Last weekend we gathered up all the Christmas crap and put it all away, returned the rooms back to normal.

I worked on this part. Kari carefully took all the ornaments off the tree, sorted them into their right boxes, wrapped and safe.

Jay took down Big Santa from the front yard.

This doily full of wax--ran hot water over it until it was gone.

And this guy:

I was a little ambivalent to see him go, took a minute and repaired his belt first.  Joe gave him to me a couple years ago. He's a bawdy dumb thing, twerks, sings, "I like big butts and I cannot lie."  Yeah, he does that. Right on Christmas.

I sent Joe a text,  "I feel like he's the Stinky Pete doll of the situation."

We laughed.  Joe said he could stay year round, actually.

Bye until next December, Twerking Santa.

Love, Val
