Up and Down

We took down our tree.  We usually leave it up until January 6th, but Little Prince needed to have the freedom he has when we are not stressing about him wrecking the tree.  I didn't want to take it down but he needed me to.  So as a compromise, to keep it more festive I took the lights from the tree and put the lights up around the house.  It looks wonderful.  I also took the candy canes I found everywhere and put them in Christmas box.  It looks like a Candy Cane bouquet.  Now my house is as festive as ever and Little Prince is happy too.
