taking down the Christmas decorations...


Well, it's time to take down the Christmas decorations. I've been dreading it ever since I put them up. I mean, I enjoyed looking at them and it's fun to have them up, but there's always that nagging thought in the back of my mind that there will come a day that they have to be taken down and put away. - not my favorite thing to do, if you know what I mean. BUT here's food for thought...

"No unwelcome tasks become any less unwelcome by putting them off till tomorrow. It is only when they are behind us and done, that we begin to find that there is a sweetness to be tasted afterwards, and that the remembrance of unwelcome duties unhesitatingly done is welcome and pleasant. Accomplished, they are full of blessing, and there is a smile on their faces as they leave us. Undone, they stand threatening and disturbing our tranquility, and hindering our communion with God. If there be lying before you any bit of work from which you shrink, go straight up to it, and do it at once. The only way to get rid of it is to do it."
Alexander McLaren

So... a few pics before I take them down...






OK! Here I go!!!
