Putting the Tree Away

January 13, 2021 By: Summer Samba18 Comments

Summer's human takes down and puts away the Christmas tree - and Summer helps.

It finally happened. All the ornaments came down, and the Christmas tree is ready to be put away. The good news is the ornament my human broke this year (she always seems to break one when taking down the tree) was one she didn’t like that much, and that she hadn’t had for very long.

The big cardboard box with a lot of the ornaments is already put away. A lot of the others are in this bin. I’ll show you where some of the more treasured ornaments are.

They’re in the box behind me. It’s actually three layers, with the biggest ornaments on the bottom.

The smallest, and some of the more delicate ones are on the top.

The Christmas tree itself is three pieces that get pulled apart and put in a box. Everything goes into a closet until next year. While I’m sorry to see all the holiday decorations get put away, I’m glad I have room for my tunnels again!

    I’m like you. I don’t touch the ornament. I just watch the peeps break them. They have dropsy. We still have our tree cos it’s growing! All the branches have new growth! Isn’t that pawsome? HAH! I saw the rip in the first pic.

    Our tree has three parts, too, Summer! And we have an ornament storage box just like that three level one. 🙂

    The saddest day of the year is the day the Christmas tree comes down 🙁 My ornaments are in 2 large Chewy boxes. (And I wonder why a few break each year.)

    Our decorations came down on Twelfth Night. It always looks very bare when everything is put away again.

    We’re glad the only accident was an ornament that wasn’t a favorite.

    Our tree is 3 parts too! It was new this year and it was hard to get it back in the box. We are glad you get your tunnels back! Have a wonderfully happy day!

    Its always kind of bare around here when all the festive things get put away…but then of course they are that much more special when they arrive back in view the next time!

    You did a great job of ‘snoopervising’ your human’s work, Summer!

    We hope our mom buys a new tree for next year, we missed one this year. All of our stuff is in storage, and our mom says it’s WAY in the back on the bottom. That’s a lot of work to get it out. MOL

    Summer, The Hubby and I have never put up a tree, however at my office, we’d have one in each lobby.
    Instead of ornaments, we hang pieces of the automotive parts that we manufacture, and they come in many colors!
    Sadly, no one was in the offices this holiday; hopefully we’ll be there at the end of this year.

    It’s that time again. But, before you know it….it will be
    time to get the tree back out again – seems like. I’m glad
    it’s over this year – didn’t seem as festive anyway.

    That’s a very nice ornament holder, Summer! Our tree came down a couple of days ago, and #1 finally put eveyrthing away yesterday. Since it was a natural tree, it ended up at the back of the garden.

    Purrs,
    Tama and Genji
