Paris, Tenn.–The holiday season is officially over when the Christmas decorations start coming down. It was a full-crew operation for the Paris Parks and Recreation Department Monday as they took down the decorations at the Downtown Plaza. With more decorations this year than ever before in the Plaza, it was a more complicated operation than usual.
