Didn't you know the tradition was changed ??
Everything stays up and lit till my birthday is over (day after tomorrow).
THEN, the lighting on the outside doesn't go on again till next year and some of the things inside will start being packed away, with the tree last.... which will be on "whim" day. That's right, whenever the whim finally hits me. LOL !
Lovely photos of your sparklies lined up and ready to be packed away. Bye-bye my pretties... see you next year.
I also like the lamp shade with the dangling crystals. You can send that to me now for my birthday.
LOL....
Hahaha! Ohhhhhh! You have a birthday coming up!!
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do? I hope you call in hookey and have a great day! Oh, thank you! I love my sparklies! They are so much fun to put up and admire, all season long. I don't blame you withthe whim-ming. I want to leave the tree up sometimes just for a little longer, but, the two of them are real and the one is artificial, so they do have an expiration date. That and the city picks up the trees until a certain date.
No, I am not taking it to the landfill. Ugh. I do enough of that on the Shore. LOL
I have several of those lampshades with the beaded dangles. I fell in love with them and bought a matching set. But, then I put one on the lower level and the other on the main level... so much for matching. Pfft. I like eclectic anyway. :)
How do you know I didn't? :P LOL
Have a great night!

I always take my birthday off. It is an official holiday at my house. This year, since it falls on Thursday, I took Friday off too ! I mean, who wants to take Thursday off and then go back to work Friday?? oh NO !
It will be my last vacation hooray for a while though. I have not worked a 5 day week since last August ! That's right, but after this last long weekend, it will be back to the 5 day a week grind (booo hooo hooooooo) while I save up my time to do it all again next fall. :)
I will sleep a little longer than my work days, get up, make coffee and probably while away the morning. Then around noon I will go to my Mom's and spend the afternoon with her and my sisters. Close to 5, I will leave and come back into town where my younger brother is taking me out for birthday supper ! It's all planned. It's going to be fun.
