So I decided yesterday that it was time for the tree to go. The kids and I removed the ornaments and lights, and also rounded up all the candles, wreaths, and other Christmas decorations. Then I packed all those bright and cheery things away in boxes. It was depressing.<\/p>\n<p>But I did enjoy putting away some of the ornaments that have special memories attached to them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11566\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3824-2-Copy.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11566\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11566 \" alt=\"IMG_3824 (2) - Copy\" src=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3824-2-Copy-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3824-2-Copy-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3824-2-Copy.jpg 597w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sheep ornament from Bath, England<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_11567\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3826-2-Copy.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11567\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11567 \" alt=\"IMG_3826 (2) - Copy\" src=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3826-2-Copy-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3826-2-Copy-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3826-2-Copy.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass lizard ornament from Bermuda<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_11568\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3834-2-Copy.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11568\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11568     \" alt=\"IMG_3834 (2) - Copy\" src=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3834-2-Copy-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3834-2-Copy-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_3834-2-Copy.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cloisonne spider ornament from a craft fair in West Virginia<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These are all ornaments that I bought on trips with my husband.

Now they&#8217;re tucked away in their packaging again, but I&#8217;m glad to know that they&#8217;re safe and sound, and that they&#8217;ll be there to make me smile later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Christmas tree has been dropping a lot of needles, and the only thing drinking its water is Peeps, the cat.
