The Big Christmas Purge

 I blame it on a big cup of Starbuck's Holiday Blend. Very early yesterday morning I couldn't stop myself from shelving all the Christmas doo dads. This year I intended to stretch the holiday out until the weekend but I just couldn't do it.

All the little things that were in my way had to go. I have things to do and Santa isn't a part of it anymore. Not until next year.

 Purging also means organizing all the nooks and crannies that the stuff has to be squeezed back into. It was a massive undertaking.

 Taking apart the Santa puzzle took forever. See ya next year fellas.

I traded the Christmas smells in for some Warm Woolen Mittens-which does not smell anything like real wool mittens.

 Daddio's holiday table runner was traded for a sampler I made ages when I was learning to weave. What I really need is another quilted table runner for winter that is not holiday themed. I need to get on that.

 Those three red and green towels I slaved over all last week are tucked safely away with the rest of the Christmas linens and I can't wait to get something else on the loom. First I have to get the trees down but that is a job for another day. I ran out of gas about noon.
