I once rode with a boyfriend (when I was eighteen) up there on his motorcycle. We camped and dived into a lake(is there one there?) to bathe and wash our hair!! Memories...<br /><br />Happy New Year to you, Lynne.

I didn't get it all out this year, and what I had, the stockings, etc., still seemed to fill the house with the spirit of Christmas, and that's what it's all about. <br /><br />It is a good feeling to have it all put away though, isn't it? I appreciated that I was so organized and put everything away so neatly last year, it made it that much more special to see it again this year. ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884070878713447737.post-56171203843549920042020-01-05T08:55:41.782-05:002020-01-05T08:55:41.782-05:00I have been pretty good about minimizing some thin...I have been pretty good about minimizing some things - but still have much more than I need. My holiday decorating was somewhat sparse, this year - so many things never even coming out of the closet where all the Christmas decorations are kept. So, I guess, I haven't quite mastered the art of getting rid of things. I can only imagine what that yodeling pickle might be! - LOL!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year - 2020... hard to believe!Karenhttps://karenlakis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884070878713447737.post-4916967092841845932020-01-04T22:13:40.797-05:002020-01-04T22:13:40.797-05:00Actually I don't get lost in memories from Chr...Actually I don't get lost in memories from Christmas decorations. My Christmas is filled with memories of my parents who died around that time. So when I clean out Christmas, I don't mind discarding stuff. I keep my Christmas minimal - it works better for me. My Christmas got clean up around the 30th. I love having my New Year be free of Christmas stuff.

I did fill a charity bag and a box today while Rick and the kids were working on the kitchen (because I was banished) and there's a box to sort through that will no doubt yield more. Two bags of trash. (And who knows what from the kitchen stuff.) But anything personal just kills me, making that decision.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884070878713447737.post-72338193143344341722020-01-04T11:54:19.266-05:002020-01-04T11:54:19.266-05:00Mine is done!
