Boxed Up Christmas

Christmas is boxed up...well almost anyway.  All the house decorations are down.  The outside has returned to its pre-Christmas appearance.  The only thing left to come down are the trees and tonight I don't have the energy to take them down. 

Can you take down Christmas, stuff it in a box and stick it in the attic for 11 months?  Yes you can but should you.  The stuff oh yes you can put that in the attic for 11 months but the spirit of Christmas, don't ever stuff that in the attic.  Let that remain a part of your being whether it be December 25th or June 12th or September 3rd. 

The spirit of Christmas lives on in our hearts after the decorations are safely tucked in the attic until next year.
