I hate to burst your bubble.
Today is the last day of Christmas.
It’s time to put all those decorations away,
The manger of tiny figurines of the three wise men,
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus
All go in the box.
It was just yesterday, Jesus was born; now he is being baptized! Soon, it will be Easter again. Never ending cycle of Sisyphus but the story of Jesus is a happy one.
Reflections 
How wonderful to see the holidays through children’s eyes! Lovely.
It is because everything is new to them and they are filled with curiosity.
Yes. That’s why it’s so much fun to see it through their eyes.
What a great illustration of joy Perpetua!
I had so much fun playing with the kids and wrapping papers. Joy of all joys, Tina.
Phew, just made it – the last of the decorations were boxed up and taken up to the attic on Friday – Happy New Year Miss P!๐
H’ya doing, Jo. We just opened the last Christmas gift tonight and the pine tree is so dry now. Happy New Year.
Good Morning Perpetual – I was just reading your list to stay in shape mentally. It’s interesting how these were all things I had begun as of last year without knowing yet have created a much, MUCH calmer me!
Top of the morning to you, Jo. Where have you been? I’ve been checking your site, no posting. I think you are way MUCH TO MUCH CALMER now. Quit the coffee?
Lol, I’m actually sitting here SPINNING from too much coffee this morning.๐ Beginning to doa lot more work with my art (Facebook – Joanne’s Inkee Fiddlings and you’ll see what I’ve been doing) and I’m finally volunteering more. Plus oldest child is graduating high school this year!!! x
Oh you are procaffeinatting … coffee first.

Its tough on the kids, but a great relief for us adults!
How do you say relief? Bedtime!
Oh yeah, except when they won’t go to sleep… I love my boys, but we all need some time.
Ooopps forgot about that. Time out for both parents and children is good. You must be a lovely Dad.
