marcicatIn a work meeting on Thursday, I mentioned that my 'big weekend plans' were taking down the Christmas decorations. This was met with mostly silence (very expected in a morning teams call), and then one of the other people in the meeting said, "You still have Christmas decorations up?"
And my reactions were basically:
1) lol I do not think they intended that to be as hilariously judge-y as it sounded
2) it hasn't even been one (1) month since Christmas???
3) it's winter? in New Hampshire? this is the season of HIBERNATION, not TAKING DOWN DECORATIONS
Important considerations:
*they do not live in New Hampshire
*as a west coaster, it was CONSIDERABLY earlier where they were, so 'morning meeting' was more like 'they might have woken up just in time to show up halfway through the meeting'
IN CONCLUSION
1. I'm not putting away all the Christmas decorations, just some of them
2. Because it's still winter, so anything winter-y can definitely stay
3. But we also have a lot of fun Valentines Day and Lunar New Year decorations to enjoy
