At breakfast:
Grandson (4 and a half years old. Conversationally): Our tree is down.
Me: Really? Mine is still up.
Daughter 1: MOM.
Me: What? I've only had it for two weeks.
Daughter 2: MOM!
Grandson: You need to take it down.
Me: But I like it! It still smells good and it looks pretty.
Grandson: Christmas is over! We opened all the presents!
Me: I might leave it up a little longer.
Daughters: [roll eyes, collectively]
Grandson: Take down it.
Leave it up!
ReplyDeleteLeave it up!
ReplyDeleteI used to get my tree down by the first. But this year I thought WTH. Leave it up. So I did. And I'm happy about it.
ReplyDelete*Rolls eyes in Scotland just to join in* Over here people used to put their trees up 12 days before Christmas and take it down 12 days after Christmas. Good rule of thumb.
