started it today - definitely have a love/hate relationship with this sort of thing.
I prefer starting it a bit later in the day....a nice little Cosmo goes a long way toward the sorting and organizing, then it all gets thrown into a box till next year 
I should be finishing up for the day.......instead I'm sitting here posting  | | This user would like to thank Fraueli for this useful post: | |

Actually this should be done in Community Party style like the Amish do.
Like some do all the curtains, others clean the windows, some do repairs, etc. etc. etc.
and some should set up tables & chairs outside if possible and have plenty of yummy food & drinks ready!!! |

Something about Spring does really make me want to "freshen up" the apartment, though! It makes me want to open all the windows to let in the sun, air and bird song.  | | This user would like to thank Kaiserin for this useful post: | |

Ciao, need to continue ... | | | | | Not quite traditional Swiss...It is a tradition in my country too (I am Romanian) and it is not related to spring, but to Easter. Every single corner of a house should be sterilized , every carpet, curtain should be dust free etc..
I love it too!

I've got a hair phobia so I wish I was Amish, then I could choose not to do the plugholes, bottoms of the legs on chairs, toilet rims (ugh!), under the beds (from the dog), computer keyboards & behind the taps   | | This user would like to thank for this useful post: | | |
