What goes up, must come down!

 We have spent the first couple of weeks in January taking down Christmas. The stable for the animals had to be unassembled and stored. The trees and the decorations in the Visitors Center and Residence are taken down. We remove the wreaths and all things Christmas. The lights on the bushes and all the low lying trees have been removed and checked and put away. The temperatures have been in the negative digits and we have to be careful not to stay out for long. It really burns your face and hands and even the inside of your nose. We run out and get as many lights as we can in the cold and then return to the shop to check, fold and put them in storage bins. The lights in the high trees will have to be taken down in the lifts after the snow melts in the spring.

Elder Adams and Elder Harper have been great helpers. They seem to be able to endure the weather a little better than us old people! 

Its always nice to get things cleaned up after Christmas but it seems a little sad after  taking down everything, when it is so beautifully decorated.
