We packed up the ornaments, boxed up the tree, deflated Homer, Tree and Polar Bears and put them in their boxes. Today Christmas will go back into storage. A friend of ours remarked that she wished it could be Christmas year round. I knew what she meant. It is great to keep the spirit of Christmas going throughout the year. But to everything there is a season and Christmas is over so the decorations need to go into hibernation for another 11 months. As it is we had our decorations up more than anyone we knew. We had ours up the weekend before Thanksgiving. For nearly two weeks we were the only ones on the block with any house decorations at all. If everyone left up the decorations year round, there would be nothing special about them. The reason they are special is they only come out once a year. Now they need to go bye bye for another year. 2009 awaits. Happy New Year. Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.
