When Do You Put Your Decorations Away?

When Do You Put Your Decorations Away?
Have you struggled with when to take down the tree and put the Christmas decorations away?

I have heard people who take down the day after Christmas, before the New Year, after the New Year, on a specific date.
Frankly it is a bit confusing to have so many conflicting ideas about when the decorations need to come down. Some appear to be family tradition, some are based on superstitions, so the question I have for you is....when do you take yours down and is there a reason why you do it when you do?

I tend to take it down whenever the energy level is there and the weather is also cooperative( we store everything in the garage, so means taking it all outside to get there. I think today was the earliest I have ever taken it down, but today was the day.

We have had it up since end on November so we have had plenty of time to enjoy it.

Another thing, do you store neatly and organized or is it just shoved in boxes to deal with next year?
I like to store in Rubbermaid totes. They have worked for me now for over 30 years, so I think I can say they work. I have an artificial tree and it also has it's own tub that fits the tree perfectly. I especially like to store my light sets in an organized way. I fold them back and forth, light at the top, then next light at the bottom and them wrap the end around the middle to secure. If it is a double ended set, I plug the one end into the other. This has also worked well over the years.

So go ahead, tell me when you take your decorations down and the reason why? my curious mind wants to know!

I was pleased to experience Tammy Hawkworth's new guided journal, and I must say it offers features I'd not seen elsewhere. For example, I loved the prompt to practice forgiveness (which I consider crucial for emotional and spiritual well-being). And in spite of being packed with other helpful features, there's still plenty of room for notes about your inspirations from that day's scripture reading or other ponderings. Tammy's journal guides you through a well-thought process designed to ignite your faith and launch your day with a sense of empowerment blended with peace and joy.

From Failing at Everything to Reaching My Dreams

 
It seems ages ago now but it really wasn't that long ago that I was in a very different place than I am now. In 2012 I was in a very negative place. It seemed nothing in my life was going my way. I had made choices that went against what I believed and this added too negative state of mind. Try as I might I just could not seem to get out of it. Everything I thought and everything I said was negative. It just seemed to flow out of me. I felt out of control and didn't know what to do about it.

Hi, My name is Tammy Hawksworth, I am a wife to Troy, my hero husband, a mother to six amazing children- two boys and four girls, one is special needs with something called Cri Du Chat syndrome, and a grandmother to six energetic grandbabies( although none are babies anymore) - three boys and three girls,and  I am a wellness promoter and mentor.

I found my way out of the dark abyss I was in and I never want to see anyone else get to that place or worse and I now share what I have used to help me,to help others

A little history, I had two failed marriages, I was a wanna be stay at home mom that now felt I had to work outside the home to make ends meet, having a special needs child, I believed I needed to be home for, and  my now hubby, had off the charts chronic pain and a brain injury that resulted in short term memory loss from an accident from almost 20 years ago. I felt I had to constantly be a broken record, repeating everything I said either to my daughter or my hubby. Add my negative mindset and it was not a fun place.

Then one day in my kitchen, an interesting thing happened, I dropped something and made a mess on the floor. One of my children came in and said "you're a bad mom!" On any other day, this wouldn't have phased me but this was from a child who normally never said anything like that and it made me do a double take and really think about it. "was I a bad mom?" I only ever wanted to be the best mom I could be. I grew up just wanting to be a" mom", so after a brief moment, I responded with " I'm not a bad mom because I spilled something." "I'm a great mom, I care about your well being, I teach you right from wrong, and I love you, that makes me a great mom"

Little did I know that those words would be a key to changing something in me that set me on the path to getting out of my negativity and my deep dark abyss.

I was using affirmations! I didn't know it, but I was.I have since learned that our words we think and our words we speak have more power than most people ever  realize.

Then as life does, when we shift gears,  I  was then introduced to some online training that helped me learn more tools to help me get back on track. And shortly after that I was beginning to be introduced to essential oils. Again, little did I know how huge a benefit these would be in helping the tools I was learning, take effect in record time.

I now spend my time sharing these tools and these oils with anyone wanting to improve their mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellness, because when you shift gears and change your path and change your direction, you change your life!

I have an interesting household, where there is rarely a dull moment, but when you go from being a couch potato, and not able to get energy to do pretty much anything- to being motivated to accomplish anything I set my mind to, I just can't keep that to myself. The changes for good in my life and the goals I am achieving are due to these things.
Want to know more, then stay tuned, I have so much to share!
