Christmas never looks as good to the point-and-shoot as it looks in person, but I keep trying.

We were really really ready to be through with Christmas this year, so I started striking the set about ten minutes after I took this. Good thing, too. Each of us thought the other was watering the tree and it shed vast piles of leaves, oops!

I finished in record time -- about four hours. There's something to be said for not dragging out every last tchotche just because I own them.

Okay--dumb question time. I'm trying to figure out where you took this (very nice) photo from. Did you have a ladder out in readiness to take down the ornaments? That's the only thing I can think of on this very chilly evening.

From the stairs -- I poked the lens through the railings.
