The Epiphany...Before and After

I decided that the Epiphany was not only the right day to put away all of the Christmas decorations, it was mandatory. 

What. A. Mess.


A reminder to Amy:

DO NOT put all of the decorations in the dining room, in a pile, to be put away "soon" EVER AGAIN!

It is not a good idea.  It is a very bad idea.  Thank you.
An apology note from Christmas 2011 Amy to Christmas 2012 Amy:

Dear Christmas 2012 Amy,

I am sorry that unpacking Christmas decorations this year will such a pain in the ass.  I know I should have done a better, more organized job.  No excuses.  It was a mess to begin with from stacking it all in the dining room to be done with it for New Years.  A day turned into a week, and then I didn't want to do it at all.  Sigh...

I am sorry.  Especially about the light strands, the lack of cohesiveness in rooms to totes and the mixtures of themes in totes and ornaments.  I will do better in 2012.  If the world does not end on December 21st, 2012, like the Mayan Calender says.  Then I guess it won't matter.  But just in case, we don't need Christmas 2013 Amy mad like Christmas 2012 Amy will be.

Thank you and I am sorry-

Christmas 2011 Amy
