Tick Tock Day

Tick Tock Day reminds us only 2 days are remaining in the year and to use them wisely. I chose to take down my Christmas tree and other accoutrements. It took most of the day, but since I've decided to go to a table tree starting next year, I'm so excited that I filled up two bins for give away next November. I've gradually been cutting back, but this one was the hardest. Choosing ornaments to part with was difficult. Obviously the really big ones had to go, but I definitely kept all the sentimental ones, whether or not they were the prettiest. Ornaments that I painted when I was young, some that Andrea made for me when she was young, and all of the family photo frames I made were definite keepers. I can't ever throw those out, so whoever is in charge of my belongings after I've moved to a better place will have to make that call.
