We took down our Christmas tree the day after Christmas. We had good reason - we were leaving for a weeks vacation to Toronto. I just wanted the Christmas stuff down so that when we came back we'd be ready for school and regular schedules again (aka my tidy control nature coming through).
So, while the young ones were napping, we took the lights and decorations off the tree.
When Jacob got up from his nap, he came downstairs and saw the bare tree.
He cried. "Put it back on" he demanded for at least 1/2 an hour. "I want it back!"
I think it's my tendency to look ahead to the next thing. Jacob reminded me to celebrate something fully, to the end.
