I love the holiday season and all the activities which accompany it--the parties, the shopping, the decorating, etc. Every year when I have to face a new year I get a little sad. The parties have all been attended and the presents have all been opened. Bummer.
All that is left to do is take down my beautiful Christmas trees. I HATE DOING THIS! I am exceedingly vain regarding the glorious appearance of my Christmas trees. Their shining presence adds greatly to the decor of my home. When they are removed the home environment just seems, well duller. I feel like an exotic, exciting visitor has departed. I usually console myself by eating my way through all the remaining Christmas cookies, holiday pies, and candy containers in the house.
However all is not lost because even in the sad circumstances of Christmas tree removal, there is an evacuation preparation which can be done. Everyone I know has some holiday ornaments or decorations which they particularly cherish. Some of the items are elaborate and costly and some are simple and handmade. All of the items represent a memory of a special event.
My suggestion is to store these ornaments in a readily accessible location (not under all the other Christmas stuff where you would never find them). If you have to evacuate grab this box. Should you lose everything you will have your most prized ornaments to start your new holiday collection.
