is it time yet?

I dunno, what do y'all think?

Yes, even for us, it is past time to take the tree down.  A shame.  I love love love Christmas.  But it is well into January.  We arrived home from the desert yesterday, and whoa.  Yeah.  That tree?  It's lovely but now feels mostly that it's in the way.  Down it must come.

Darn it.

On the other hand, I am off to conference midweek for a handful of days, so I'll leave this up to Conrad, and he can get Van to pitch in.  ;-)
