farewell halloween in Bittersweet

We packed up most of the halloween decor today, Except Skelly. He is staying up a bit. I need a christmas hat for him lol.
The kids grabbed all my winter paintings and brought them all out and hung them up. Crooked and weirdly out of order… My winter village paintings are in an L shape??
Ill fix it later.
Its 70 degrees out so I dont want to do much else really. I do have my collasal santa mug out. It holds IDK a half a gallon lol. I will bring it to work soon. Im trying to figure out where to reroute all of my things on the table ( shipping stuff and wool) so that we can eventually put the tree there.
I really love Christmas, but Christmas in Colorado sucks. At least the high plains. Its so warm and rarely “winterly” you dont feel “it” much.
Then coupled with having a smaller house and less places to decorate. Its hard.
Im struggling with kids and chores right now. I just want my kitchen clean. T has bread going and it smells so good. I want to make some peppermint chocolate bread. I was considering peppermint cream cheese frosting. I need to match a small batch and see how it goes. Pumpkin cream cheese frosting was good. We will see.
