I did my best this Christmas by simplifying!!! I live alone and this year, for the first time EVER, I did not put up a tree. I decorated my mantle as usual with the family stockings, put out 2 candles and hung a couple of wreaths! Done! My friend said “Doesn’t a tree and all those decorations make you happy?” and I said no. Because I was the happiest when it only took me about 30 minutes to get everything put away. Then I read a book for a couple of hours.!!!! Christmas should be fun...and each one of us has our own definition of holiday fun/spirit. You do you besties - and have a Happy 2024!!!

What a great surprise - needed this! Let’s normalize lousy Christmases. It’s the reality for some of us, but yet we feel bad or like anomalies - surely it should be all joy and mistletoe, like we’re shown everywhere.
