Taking a walk down memory lane today decorating the Christmas tree. Lately, even the simplest tasks turn into projects - culling through ornaments and letting some go. If an ornament isn't immediately triggering a warm, fuzzy memory, it's worth considering letting it go. Thankfully, there are SO MANY with memories attached.
I bought small silver box ornaments ages ago fully intending to use them for a Christmas gift to co-workers back in the day. I've moved them into the donation box along with a bunch of others. We also ended up with four glass stagecoach ornaments from J.'s former employer - they are all identical and I honestly have no idea why we purchased so many? Probably thinking he would share them with co-workers, too - but we never did. Destined for the donation box. Keeping one of each and passing the others on. Someone will be blessed to find them. J.'s going to take them to thrift store this week so someone can find them to use on a tree this year.
Anytime we're culling things out, it feels good. It really does. It will consolidate ornament storage quite a bit to finally let go of some.
Muf headed to the tree skirt and is convinced they are hiding from us as her fuzzy tail hits the lower branches as she 'hides'. Nala has made herself at home in the empty plastic storage bin - it's the hugest box and she is blissfully content (also) thinking she is hiding.
Now that we've started, I'm determined to go through every single box of Christmas stuff in the garage - something we did before we left Tracy and again when we were in the rental before moving to the house. So much stuff!
The weather forecast said snow all night as we headed to bed last night. It looks like the hills around us got quite a bit but we didn't have any new snow on the ground when we woke up this morning.
