Life Without His Tree! :)

 Coal seems to be lost, for the moment. He's so used to making a bee-line straight to the tree, and laying facing it, that he's not quite sure what to do with himself now that it's gone! :)
 I meant to take the tree down yesterday, and managed to box up all the ornaments and put them away, but I made the mistake of turning on the lights one more time and it was instant magic! :) By then the sun was going down and we agreed to enjoy the tree with it's sparkling lights one more night! :)
 Once I removed the lights today, the rest was easy. I was ready to get the last remnants of Christmas out and reclaim the space! :) Our home seems to have gained more square footage with it all out! :)
 Now we are relaxed and ready to welcome in the new year! ... All but Coal, that is. He lays down for a bit, whimpers, and gets up and walks around aimlessly before laying down again. Poor Coal! :) Probably by tomorrow he will have adapted to life without his tree! :)
 Happy New Year Everyone! :)
