Twelfth Night beckons

So it was the day to take the Christmas decorations down and pack them away for another year! This task always takes longer than you think it will!
By the time I had taken down the cards, the tree, the various decorations from the dining room (oh! those paper chains the children made on Christmas Eve) and even from the kitchen, several hours had passed!

Although well within his reach, our puppy never touched the Christmas tree!! (The same cannot be said for the roll of kitchen towel !!).
