The halls are still decked

Typically, I have all of my holiday decor put away by now.

This year, we had Dewdrop visiting from North Carolina, so I left it up while she was still here.

Then, Sugarwings was staying with us for a couple of days after her sis left.

I can't dismantle a mountain of Christmas crap with a little girl around.  The grand fairies are too sad to see it go.

And my house is in total disarray during the process.  It takes magical skills to make it all fit where it needs to go. The huge task requires mega amounts of concentration and plotting.

So, I'll enjoy it, as long as I need to. Then go full force in finagling all of this into one small closet.   I'm not sure if I will miss it or not.  I think I will miss the twinkling lights, but I am possibly ready for the clutter to be gone. I did get  the studio cleared of all signs of the holiday, and have enjoyed getting it back to normal and getting some work done out there.  

Which reminds me, there will be some new, non Christmas, fairies flying their way to the Boutique soon. Photos to come.
