decorstowday
/dɪˈkɔːˈstəʊˌdeɪ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Schmuckräumtag (Deutsch) · desadornar (Español) · décorangement (Français)
The January day on which the decorations come down, and the house feels briefly like a hotel.
The decorstowday is scheduled by mood and executed by music. Its boxes are labeled by who is honest and unlabeled by who is kind to future selves. The house is bare by dusk, cleaner than it has been since November, and one decoration is left up, forever, by treaty.
Etym. — decor stow + day — the packing away of the year's festivity.
