Are your Christmas decorations still up ?

As I write this, it's New Year's Eve, and we put the last of the Christmas Decorations in the attic today. I normally like to keep the outside lights up till New Year's Day, but the weather coming up looks nasty so we took them down today. Nice to have them up, but even nicer to reclaim my living room and put them all away. Just delighted not to have to worry about going back to work this week. Or ever.
 

Since our kids moved out our tradition has been that I bake cookies while the hubs puts up decorations. We work together to pack everything away. Although we no longer put up a tree (male dog - 'nuff said on that score), we fully decorate the house otherwise. It takes a couple of days (at least) to get the house decorated and another couple to get it back to non-Christmas mode.

This year we have stay-over company for a few days so the house will remain decorated for a while longer than usual.
