The visiting family have left the Elbeno household, the remaining bits of Xmas fare that didn't get eaten are being thrown away, past their sell-by date, Santa Claus is Ebaying the list of naughty girls, and I get to pack up the decorations for another year.
As we enter the new year the proto-Elbeno is starting to make demands on my time already… shopping for crib, changing table, stroller, and the rest.
