I bit the bullet, took the bull by the horns --whatever -- I am no longer S.I. (Socially Incorrect). I took down the outside Christmas lights today! Whoopie! The neighbors are no longer snickering. Passersby are no longer considering what weirdos might live in that house.

Yesterday I took down our inside Christmas tree. Can you imagine how difficult that was? Look at it! A thing of beauty! Now in a box. ;-(
