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!

PMSL! That is so far into awful, it's crossed over into impressively awesome!

You CAN'T part with something that is in such bad taste it's cool!

It's one of those things that when your daughter (who it will be handed down to) puts it up in forty years time, she'll get a grimace that will turn into a fond smile when she thinks of your quirkiness, and so it will go down the generations to come.

Darn it, you and irishlass made me look at that hanging as quirky. Now I can never throw it away. (Though I will probably pass it along to my kid - after talking up its quirkiness, of course.)
