Why do we clean up before we put the Decs up
Only to make a mess doing them
To have to clean up again when we have finished

Well Only the Tree to buy and put up and I am done for now :-D :-D

Even our artificial tree manages to shed quite a few 'needles' when being decorated or taken down :-S

We always had a real one before we left the UK.

You can buy them here in WA but they are expensive and don't last very long, and boy, do they leave a mess after the day :-0

In my case, I clean before putting the decs up, probably because people will be coming round.
For a few weeks, I have been muttering to myself - 'Must wash that floor', now, there's a reason! :-D

I ended up with more glitter and tinsel on the floor
than on the decs :-D

Tinsel and glitter is more acceptable than cat fur and mud!
Daughter popped around today, in between 'cases' - she's a health worker.
I had to point out - and remove, the glitter from her face!! :-D :-D
