Quite often Christmas day or maybe the day after, anyone around our house is recruited to start taking Christmas decorations down. Since we didn't really have anyone around our house, the decorations lasted until two days before New Year, when the pressure just got too much to bear. 
I was able to help taking the tree apart and putting it to bed in its box. But it was a little much for the two of us to put the box back up on the shelf in the garage. Next year, we'll probably wait for a son or son-in-law to help.
Putting the small decorations such as the Christmas village away was a little more my style. But even here, Carolyn had to manage putting them onto the storage room shelves.Taking down the Christmas decorations has always signaled the end of Christmas to me. Time to get on with the New Year.
Hmm, you probably shouldn't wait around for us to come up and put stuff away. We find there is enough work around here without spending our vacations doing someone else's as well.
