Taking Down the Tree

I started removing the ornaments from the tree last week and Matthew was very upset. He got weepy and wouldn't "let" me do anything with him near. Here's a picture from him last week and he hovered near the tree to prevent my removing the ornaments.

So yesterday, I took off the ornaments while he was napping and we woke up and exclaimed. "Balls. I want the balls! I want the tree beautiful." I'm trying to help him understand that Christmas is a season and that the season will return later, but he doesn't want to hear it.

I'm always sad when the tree comes down too. It makes the house look so drab!! That's why it's so special when it's only up once a year.

Look at that sad little face and I know just how he feels, too!
