Another first!

All of the Christmas stuff has been put away at my house! And I didn't swear or cry as I was trying to get the tree into its bag! Last year I believe it was down fairly quickly as well, but not within the first two weeks of January. What an accomplishment for me! It was especially important to get everything down and put away this year since Alex LOVES Christmas and pretty much revolted throughout the entire process. I thought that prolonging his exposure to Christmas-related items might not be healthy, given his obsession. We did end up leaving a tiny Christmas tree in his room so that he can look at it whenever he wants....I put my foot down at leaving The Polar Express and Mickey Saves Santa out to watch all year long! Now we just have to convince him that his birthday only comes once a year...I'm kind of nervous about Tommy's upcoming birthday because Alex will undoubtedly try to steal the show.

The house seems empty without the tree up, but I'm sure I'll get over it. I'm liking that I don't have to be annoyed about Honey knocking ornaments off the tree with her tail!
