Christmas is put away...finally!

This is a little late, but here it is none the less so beware of picture overload...

Many of our family and friends have been asking where we put all our Christmas decorations....so I will do the reverse and show you how we take Christmas down at the Finseth house...


I get some extra table space set up, it makes it
much easier to pack stuff up if it is altogether in
one spot...so here I begin


As you can see by the table I have started picking up
all the little nic nacs...there sure is a lot of
them!


The dining room table has most of the
bigger stuff on it.


Down comes the tree...as you can see it's
late so we will leave it for the night
I'll finish in the morning.


Day two...the litte elves didn't show up
last night...darn! That table is still
full..


This table is still full too!  Back to work!


I've still got lots to do!   




Now...all these boxes (39 to be exact) have
to bo moved downstairs into the crawl
space...
We live in a 4 level split, so that's
two flights of stairs it has to go
down...sorry B!


Here's the little door that leads to the
storage spot for our
christmas decorations...


B has a wheeled cart that he puts the boxes
on, and then he can push the cart in and out
of the storage area...


One of the boxes going into the space


B has to wear knee pads...can't
say that I blame him..


You see it all fits in nice and snug
(See Len...it stays right here, plenty of room!)


Truthfully this Christmas stuff only takes up about
one third of the space that we have under
there...


The final stuff to go into the
space is the wrapping paper!


Ooops forgot one!

The final stages are the outside
Christmas decorations...
they have to be blown up
in the garage so that they can
get dry before we put them away...


I didn't get pics of the rest of them..but
they are put into bins after they have
dried and those bins go into the crawl
space too.
