This is the earliest we've taken it down, but again, I haven't had one for quite a few years and had forgotten how dry the needles get, how they fall everywhere.<br />Pseu: I suspect this will become a wonderful tradition that your friends and family will enjoy.<br />K: He wasn't actually glowering, just looks like . . . I think he was so tired of me capturing him mid-grin that he decided to exercise some control over the image.<br />Tiffany: You've already turned over a page on the New Year calendar! Your New Year's Eve sounds perfect to me, as we were also asleep by midnight having enjoyed a lovely meal together and realizing neither of us wanted to head out afterward.<br />Patricia: Ah, curled up inside against the cold, with a book, while the menfolk burn off energy elsewhere -- sounds absolutely perfect! enjoy!<br />SL: We're packing up for a little trip, but in some ways I'd prefer to be doing what you are -- feels just the right time to organize toward a more ordered year.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-44522642160841337162010-12-31T16:33:53.772-08:002010-12-31T16:33:53.772-08:00Happy New Year to you!

I'm ready for it to come down. I've been going through our possessions and getting rid of things we don't need (well, things I don't need, really, as I'm not touching my DH's things). The beginning of the new year always seems a good time to do this exercise.SewingLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884510117234994583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-66049455516927811302010-12-31T15:35:35.702-08:002010-12-31T15:35:35.702-08:00Hello Mater - a Happy New Year to you!

We just saw in the new year quietly at home about half an hour ago - tomorrow morning we head off to Austria for a week of skiing (boys) and reading (me).

NYE was quiet - took our kids down to a nearby park where we met friends to watch the famous Sydney fireworks, the 9pm version (for kids and families). I was in bed asleep before midnight, but son & spouse got on the roof to watch the midnight ones! Planning to spend today thinking about the year ahead ... and avoiding the heat.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69579407317184781672010-12-31T11:56:16.742-08:002010-12-31T11:56:16.742-08:00Ha!

Love the vision-lacking of those toddlers :-) But your son doesn't seem to be so thrilled - nor would I be!<br /><br />Scott is taking down the tree as I write. And I'm stalling on the cooking I should be doing. Guests aren't going to forage for themselves, alas.<br /><br />Have a great NYE.

It's not too bad really because she insists on putting the tree up when she gets home and as she doesn't arrive til about a week before Christmas usually, we aren't bored with the decorations by the time she goes back ( first week in Jan sometime)Guernseygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037193145574262238noreply@blogger.com
