Taking a break...

Photo I took of the elf ornament

I undecorated and put away the tree, and while I couldn't find some boxes for things, I did find ornaments that I didn't think I had--including two that I thought had been lost--both from my childhood. One was the angel that we always twist-tied to the top of the tree, and the other was this little elf guy (in my hand in the photo). I can remember being pretty little, and this little guy was hung near the bottom of the tree. I would move his little pipe cleaner arm and make him play his violin/fiddle whichever. I know from the shape of the elf's body it looks like a dress, but from a kid I always thought of the elf as a "he". After I post this, I want to do the vacuuming. Hope all is well with you in your part of myLot land!

Aww that’s a cute elf. How nice to have found them and to still have them after all these years. I found ones I didn’t think I had either once I put my decorations away. I wish I had noticed them before so I could have put them on my tree this year. They will be better organized and used next year at least .

I am done yesterday for the house chores, I think the only and constant daily cleaning routine is our room and washing the dishes.

each ornament might have some stories behind

We took the tree down during the weekend. I vacuumed yesterday, the whole house. It needed it. There was cat hair and withered leaves from plants everywhere. The cute little elf looks like a "she" to me. Sweet little thing. Did you name her?

LOL--no--she's just been "Elf" for as long as I've known her. I guess she will be a girl.

I'm glad that you feel that way. And you found something you thought you lost.

Hmm. Maybe they is non-binary! I would have thought "she."
