In which stgulik gets a little spirit

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!

LOL now that is something that is so ugly it is cute!

I don't do any Christmas decorating. What's the point I ask? It is only me and I don't want the hassle.

I did break down and send out 9 Christmas Cards that weren't actually included in a parcel. Isn't that impressive?

Happy scaled back Season!

Thanks! Yes, scaled back is the only way to go.
