If you’re reading this on the back deck of your apartment overlooking the Great Barrier Reef at Airlie Beach, you know exactly what to do. If you’re reading this in front of your computer at work, well, we need to talk.
January 6 is a huge day!
It’s a day that marks pretty much two weeks until all the kids head back to school. It also marks less than 2 months until the start of the NRL and local footy with our mighty Cutters going at it again. Oh and don’t forget about the basketball with the Meteors and Meteorettes at Candlestick Park. I’m excited for the fun.
You know what else is happening?
Today is officially the day when we take down the Christmas tree from last year. Yes, there’s a day for that.
Just so we are aware, there seems to be a day for everything. Birthday. Anniversary. A day that you need to change the battery on your smoke detector. A day when you need to visit the doctor once a year.
Today is the day when we need to pack away the old Christmas tree and leave it alone for the next 10 months until we do it all again.
I’m guessing you’ve got a tree that came in a box from the other side of the world, and you just put it together, threw some decorations and tinsel on it, and then it was done. I wouldn’t think it would take a long time to put it all away, but if it does, take your time. Make it count.
Then you have to look at packing away all those lights, and extra bits and pieces of things that glow in the night sky. Make sure you roll the lights up in a way, so that when November rolls around, you aren’t taking hours to unroll and put up. Just a word of advice.
I remember a few weeks ago someone stole my light-up reindeer from my front yard in South Mackay. Yes, someone jumped the fence and helped themselves to it, but hey that’s what we’ve come to lately, but anyway, it is what it is. What I meant to say is, if you are packing everything away around your place, and you notice a white reindeer sitting in the corner, and you don’t know where it’s come from, I reckon it’s mine.
Oh and by the way, January 6 is also a day when you can head off to the Bluewater Lagoon and get some rays without anyone else there. You’ll have the place to yourself. Enjoy!
