Just taking a break - got all the ornaments off the tree and most of them packed up, but I have to go down to the basement to forage for another box, so decided to sit down for a few minutes and put my feet up and drink a glass of diet cranberry juice.  I thought I would surprise Greg and take the tree down and pack it up so he wouldn&#39;t have to, but after a few tries at getting the top section off, I decided I couldn&#39;t quite manage it.  We have so much Christmas stuff and he always complains about hauling it all upstiars and then I don&#39;t even use half of it, so this time, I sorted it all into stuff I always use and packed it away accordingly.  The boxes that I definitely will want, I wrapped a piece of gray duct tape around so he only has to bring those up unless I ask for something else specifically.  Hopefully that will make things easier on him.<br /><br />Well, better get back to it.....
