As much as I enjoy the Christmas season, it’s at this time of year I state “adequate suffices.” Time to proceed and handle theNew Year Just like you would not consume anything left over from Christmas supper, taking a look at the decors now makes you feel either dated or depressed. It’s time to proceed.

The lights were on up untilJan 6, ‘Little Christmas’ In our household, all our decors keep up till that time. So, on January 7th we began taking whatever down. We had some aid- our boy and his buddies, and obviously, my moms and dads are the most significant aid, they are constantly there for us!
