I've done a certain amount of decorating, but some stuff will stay in the basement this year. The cute little Victorian ceramic village made of houses with lights in them? Can't bring them up myself without causing a major flare, and I'm tired of asking my husband and son for help (they couldn't care less about
decorating.) Maybe next year.
Hubby used to do outside lights, but he's tired of it, so I started stringing lights around the front door to show off my wreath. I got about 5' up, then had to stop because doing anything with my arms extended also brings a flare. He said he'd help "sometime," but that never happened, so I laid them over a bush instead. Good enough!
A couple of weeks before Christmas, I find myself switching over from thinking about decorating to thinking more about putting it all away, and I actually begin to pare down the amount of stuff that's out. I get in the spirit early and then out early too, I guess.
