Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way! Especially the area where the tree used to be. Typically, we have a chair and ottoman there instead which got moved into another room for the time being, but yeah, even beyond that, the fireplace mantle is bare and the spots where even just the silly Christmas knick-knacks went seem oddly vacant and devoid of color. Almost to the point where when you finish, you begin to ask "oh, why did we do this?"
