Christmas decorations

When I was growing up my parents had rules about Christmas decorations. Our tree was in the middle of the front room so that it was under the lights so the lights could be plugged in. Christmas night my mother would announce that Christmas was over and we undecorated the tree and put things away. We did not have lights on the house so it was indoor stuff. Now we undecorate at New Year's Day and store the things in our attic. My snowmen are going under because of the snow and my daughter Sally's blog shows it today, I think we will undecorate at Easter this year. The indoor stuff is put away but not the outdoor stuff. Maybe we will make it by St Patrick's day.
