Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen,
To hear......" HOLD IT!!
Enough already! The party's over! It was great while it lasted and I have no regrets but Santa and Father Time have left the building and they took baby Jesus with them. Time to pick it up, pack it up, tear it down and haul it away. Time to "untrim" that tree and "undeck" those halls - yank down those boughs of holly and stuff them in a green garbage bag. Put all those Christmas CDs and DVDs away for another year - and if you still have a VCR it is time to rewind. Put down that last piece of fruitcake - put it down! Dump that semi-curdled eggnog down the sink and don't even think about drinking the rest from the carton!
Time to vacuum, scrub, sweep and shovel Christmas back where it belongs. The tree that has been gracing your home for a month or so has to go sometime so why not now? Careful - remember the fake ones go back into their shrouds in the basement and the real ones get hauled outside.
In other words it is tidy up time, folks and I don't like it any more than you but somebody has to do it. But just look on the bright side - in about 11 months we get to do it all over again! Now get back to work - that trash ain't gonna haul itself to the curb.

Be a doll and come do mine too. I hate the tear-down. Its so fun to take it all out but such a chore to put it all back. That only leaves one thing left... WINTER! Yuck.
so well done !
