their house back to "normal" (and to be sure, Dad's going to be happy to have his window seat back) but I like the festivity the Christmas decorations bring, especially the tree, so I'm always a little sad when it's time to take the decorations down.
Also, Christmas is stressful, yes, but it also gives me a sense of purpose. I spend December making Christmas "happen", which fills a lot of time, and then it's after Christmas and it's still dark early and too cold to be outdoors and I find myself a little bored.
