I do miss them

Yesterday I took down the Christmas tree and put away the lights and all of a sudden the room looks bare and empty.  There is something about a tree with it’s baubles and lights that make a room look happy – I don’t know what it is.  However last night saw me put them back in their boxes and this morning we took the tree apart.  I know it’s a little late but it would seem that visually Christmas is over for this season.  Mind you I have a note on my screen saying get ready for Christmas ’09 but if I know me I will ignore that until November and the headless chicken impression will kick in 😀
