And so it begins. The first decoration to go up. I have had this manger since I was a teenager. Now, I have several days ahead of decorating the rest of the house. I'm also going on a decoration purge. I intend to give away the ones I haven't used, but keep toting them down every year. And then I stash them back up in the attic, year after year. I put up the same things every year. There's no use keeping all the other stuff. I'll let my daughters choose what they want. The rest gets donated.
