Christmas is what you make of it. It can be magic, it can be lonely, it can be materially grasping, it can be selfless giving. Like everything in life, it's up to you. Where I am, the Christmas Season starts the First of October and ends when I say it ends. I LOVE the decorations and lights. One year I left my tree up until Easter. This year, no tree. Six cats and three dogs and occasionally their friends. I may be old, but I'm NOT senile...yet...Meowrry Christmas one and ALL!

Love this. We must make our lives work within what we have and we can do it. Not certain whether I am not going senile, however.

Senility is mostly just going backwards into early childhood. Enjoy it while you can get away with it! If you're not having fun with life, you're doing it wrong!

I agree. If I am not having fun, I must fix that. Besides, I am fine and everyone else is flying off the rails. :)

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts regard decorations (and other things). My decorations stay up as long as I want.

We leave ours up all through January now so the youngest can have her birthday presents under the tree. And I love having more light on dark mornings! By February it’s less needed.
