my christmas decorations stay up until ...

this year they stayed up until my roommate took them down, for the most part. that's the advantage of her having put them all up while i was out of town - she used all her own stuff, so she took it all down, too. :) i had a few things up, but they came down when hers did - even if they did just get put away yesterday.

usually i'm ready for the christmas decor to come down about two days after christmas. i like having it up before the holiday, but i'm done with it once it's over. i don't mind keeping up some winter decor (like the big snowflake hanging in the office), but the christmas-themed stuff needs to come down in a timely manner.

and don't judge me, but i kind of want to decorate for valentine's day.

i'm thinking that last sentence entails "non-tradiotional" valentine's day decor...?
whereas i would probably decorate with full (implying not broken) pink and red hearts, candy, etc, yours may not fully follow suit.

have you noticed that we as a society have pretty much dropped the "st." from valentine's day? i noticed this was included on my large desk calendar from litho. you don't hear too many people say happy "st. valentine's day". i will stop now. ;-)

actually ... i was thinking very traditional. i think a garland of pink & red felt hearts would look so cute strung along the front of our entertainment center. and a little cluster of hearts hanging from the light over the dining room table would be adorable. and we have some really cute heartsy fabric at work - i could make a dish towel or two to have in the kitchen ... maybe a pot holder or two to coordinate?

wow, even after a full 8 hours of sleep, i still think it would be fun. maybe i'm broken ...

i only hear st. valentine's when i watch that episode of 30 Rock where elisa takes jack to church. :)

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
