Blame it on Rodzinski!
After his wistful post Saturday afternoon about leaving his Christmas tree lights on, rather than taking it down, I was inspired to undecorate my tree.
I spent the evening removing the ornaments, packing them away and then gathering up all the items in the place that are Christmas-related and putting them in boxes, etc.  Time to finally take this stuff to storage, rather than pretending it will fit in closets and under beds, etc.
I confess I'll miss the tree.  It shone brightly and beautifully.  And it will again...next Christmas.
