Is anyone else sad that the holidays are over? Even though it is definitely a chaotic time with all of the Christmas shopping, interstate travelling, holiday parties, and family visits this holiday was nothing short of magical for my family. Being in a house and celebrating baby K's first Christmas made this holiday season so special. In the weeks following Christmas the other houses in our community began to take down their lights one by one until we were the only ones left. It became very apparent that it was time - time to undecorate.
This weekend R and I started all of our holiday undecorating. As you can imagine, it is not even close to being as fun as it is to decorate. Even though we kept our decorations up well past new year (I just had to display my after Christmas sale finds) it was still so sad. Good bye first Christmas tree. Good bye pretty glitter ornaments. Good bye twinkling Christmas lights. Good bye colorful sequin stockings. Good bye dancing Santa.
Okay... maybe we won't say good bye to our dancing Santa just yet. Why? Because for some weird reason baby K calms down to him mid-scream. She giggles every time she sees him and bounces like crazy when he dances. Once, I put her jumper in front of him and she bounced for a half hour while I cooked dinner. It was great!
Even though keeping Santa out will be tacky, I'll take it over a screaming baby any day. Plus, it's not nearly as tacky as keeping Christmas lights on your house year-round... right?
