We have been buying Christmas gifts for the past week or so for the nieces and nephew up in Washington state. We should finish up tomorrow, but they will need to be wrapped before mailing. Trouble is we are unsure of how much, if any, wrapping paper we have. All our Christmas stuff was packed up after the end of the holidays of 2018, then packed into shipping crates in South Carolina in early October 2019, unloaded in Oregon in January 2020, only to be stored away under the stairs unseen.
Well, if we were going to go down and root around in the half dozen or so boxes of Christmas stuff looking for wrapping paper, we might as well drag it all out and start decorating…its close enough. The tree went up yesterday along with all the other seasonal bric-a-brac bits. We also took those multi-colored string lights we bought here last year to decorate the AirBnB and encircled the big picture window in the living room. Today we hung out the small yard flag, the big porch railing flag and wrapped that railing with some candy cane colored rope lights we bought last year at the after Christmas sale at Home Depot.
While we were decking the halls of Casa de K-Falls we were going through of all those boxes of Christmas stuff and weeding out things that we no longer liked or didn’t have a place for and set them aside. Today we donated a couple boxes worth of holiday decorations to Goodwill. Hopefully someone else just might want them.
