(11,098 posts)The holiday stuff is all taken down and out of sight. It may yet be awhile before it's all back where it belongs between Epiphany and Thanksgiving.

(36,434 posts)my neighbor has a different schedule. He puts up a shitload of stuff for Halloween.... then he augments it for Thanksgiving.... then he doubles down for Christmas.... then he waits until after the Superbowl Sunday to take it all down. It is what it is, but the damn flashing lights drive me crazy.

(66,369 posts)Took me about an hour. My incentive for getting it done is how forlorn the decorations look after the holidays are over and the magic is gone. I don't like the reminder, so I put everything away lickety-split.

On a positive note, I did gather all my unneeded and unwanted Christmas gifts to donate them to an organization called Hope Before Heaven. They help to ensure that no cat and dog has to be euthanized due to an owner's inability to pay for emergency medical services. They will be having a basket raffle this spring so I wanted to help them out.
