Our Christmas tree came down today

6 weeks late.

It was stressing me out. Another job not done. I don't put Christmas trees up or take Christmas trees down. The kids are responsible. But I've not had the time or energy to insist that it be taken down.

I had a brainwave at 4am this morning. I got up and wrote the kids a note, "No electronic media today until the christmas tree is taken down and put away properly."

(I also added 'half hour computer time = 15 minutes instrument practice.)

I woke up to the sound of a trombone and cello.

Beautiful.

  1. The threat of no electronic media usually works quite well here too.
