In which stgulik gets a little spirit

[stgulik]

So, like, that Christmas meme in the last journal entry, while fun, did not tell the entire story about my complicated feelings for Christmas. In fact, my attitude toward the season continues to evolve.

This year I asserted myself a little more than usual. For instance, when we put up all the household decorations last night, I held back a good third of them and quietly put them back in storage. Now the house, to me, feels enhanced by Christmas decorations, not burdened.

AND - I pointed it out to my groom, who told me he hadn't noticed the difference and doesn't mind. Score one point for my sanity, and award a point to my groom for keeping the peace.

Still, I couldn't hold back this little number, because I promised I would show it to you. See? You didn't believe me when I described the glory of its awfulness!

That is so 70's retro-gross. It's almost charming. I lived through the 70's, so this is bringing back memories of that whole macrame fetch of the time. Especially macrame plant holders hanging from the ceiling looking like ratty hemp rope strangling a poor houseplant. And pompoms. Thanks for the flashback.

Yes, the jute macrame plant holders! My mom went through a long macrame craft phase. I was given at least one - I should search the house to see if I still have it.
