Superstition

OK . . . so I'm superstitious! I can't help it though, thanks to my Dad (who I love and miss so much!), he was very superstitious about everything.

Once again, I face taking down the Christmas decorations before the New Year, or it is severe bad luck! As you might have guessed, my 17 year old daughter was suppose to help me . . . but again, dating has messed that up, and now I am stuck putting away all of the beautiful decorations alone. Which is a chore!

It is really sad when it's all gone, but is so rewarding to sit down, have a glass of wine, and relax knowing that you are done with the huge change over for another year. I wonder if when my daughter moves out one day, if I will just put up a few things and not do the big tree and all the decorations? Maybe there will be someone in my life by then, and they can help . . . so it won't be such a chore.

I guess I need to add that to the list of "what do you think about . . . ", when I am asking them the get to know you questions. "What do you think about superstitious people, are you superstitious?" "Did you know that you were suppose to take down the Christmas decor before the 1st of the year, or it's bad luck?" They might think I'm nuts!
