I am, too, but fonder if someone else would take on the organizing/turfing out of lurking dead leftovers. Alas, doesn't seem to be a talent of the dog's.

Prevention is sometimes best when it comes to leftovers multiplying. Ask yourself if you are likely to eat something before saving it in the fridge. Sometimes we just save leftovers automatically without thinking about it.

Thinking is said to be evil to those of habit ... things go by instituted protocol ...

My guests bought a lot of food for New Years, and there were leftovers. They added to the leftovers from Christmas, resulting in some excess.

i too am enjoying an organized fridge.

I created a leftover shelf in this fridge. What I do is put all leftovers on that shelf. People look at it for lunches & snacks. If it is full, we have a leftover meal. I dont have to thtrow stuff away often, but, if meal wasn't a hit, then, I will toss the leftovers after a few days. Has been working well.
 
We've postponed Christmas with my sister's family. I'm just way to sick to even really celebrate with them. Chemguy is too sick to prepare. I don't like pushing it as far back as we have, but not lots of other options.
 
Been a bad winter for sickness. I'm hoping for a well week or so and I'll get a belated flu shot. I've been feeling crappy, off and on, since early November. Get better soon, ChemFamily.

Having Christmas sushi lunch with sisters tomorrow.
 
I too, reluctantly, started organizing Christmas decorations to be put away yesterday. Washed all the Christmas mugs, put Christmas towels and placemats in the laundry so will be put away clean, gathered fridge magnets, pictures of children with Santa, Christmas stockings, small knickknacks with the Christmas theme, together in one place so they won't get forgotten when I bring up the storage trunks from the basement. By Epiphany things will be nearly back to normal around here.

How many of you observed Christmas right up until Epiphany?
 
I'll be taking down our tree today. Not a job I particularly enjoy, but it can't stay there for ever. Maybe I should be proactive and take some painkilling drugs before I start?
 
I leaf the outside tree up until the end of the festival of lights ... when the antics in the dark outdoors start to occur between nymphs and demos ... often marked by the Holy Week Run up ... to a dry situation presenting a possible birth in the following dark time ... winter solstice?

These too passover ... with delivery of squeals of pain, blamed on husbandry, followed by delight ... all over the pop-outs?

Some call this source Eire ... a divisive or divine word of schism? Somebody lost something in the gaining ... and life goes round in vertigo due to lack of understanding the drive and de rovers woven into song and dance ...

Rover being easily coming about as a roover/roofer ... as in waeving ... entwinement of alien tongues ... oh fiddle!
 
@KayTheCurler , I generally have to wear long sleeves when dealing with the Christmas tree, though, when it is ready to take down the oils don't seem to bother me the same.

Ours hasn't left the house yet. Husband likes to wrap it in a dropcloth to stop the needles from getting everywhere. No dropcloths at the new house yet, so needs a run to get one.

Putting away Christmas is a job I like doing. I enjoy handling all my Christmas things again and restoring my house to a less cluttered state.

Mind you we don't do a real tree anymore. That always created more mess and bother.
 
Nothing to take down again this year. Vacationing at Christmas as we do has kind of removed my desire/incentive to do much decorating. Seems a lot of work when we'll really only enjoy it for part of the season. The vacation was before Christmas in 2018, returning on Dec. 23, so I could have justified it, but didn't quite work up the desire. We'll see what happens this year come December.
 
My husband took the (real) tree out yesterday. I had undecorated the house the day before...always a little sad. Today, I will put my last piece of Christmas away...the things I put out first... Christmas mugs. This year, our tree was a tree that my husband had planted in our yard with the idea that it would eventually by our Christmas tree. This was the year it reached the appropriate height. It was quite beautiful, and unlike our usual Charlie Brown Christmas trees. Now he says he wished he had planted a new one every year!
 
When we lived in an acreage hubby used to cut down small trees to allow 'chosen' ones to grow evenly. Then we just had to go outside to the grove and decide which one could have the privilege of dropping needles in the house. After leaving the acreage we went out into the northern forest and looked for a tree. It only took a couple of trips for us to decide we were too old and stiff for that. It is incredibly difficult to walk through wild forest complete with deadfall under the snow!
