Good Evening!
Christmas is put away. Well, almost put away. My dad went to a homeowners association meeting, and once he gets back, we'll place the various bins and boxes in the attic.
I was sort of surprised that my mom was not too "careful" putting away some of the ornaments. She basically placed most of them in a single layer in a box, then covered them with a layer of paper towels, then placed the cover on the box. I was actually prepared for a bit more wrapping-up of individual things, but I guess as long as the boxes don't get jostled around over the next 11 months, the decorations should be fine.
*And my parents already have their tree for next Christmas. They bought a full-size, pre-lit artificial tree last week.
