OK. I need to hear from some of you. Who has decorated their Christmas tree completely alone?
Well, I did yesterday and I have to say, I wasn’t feeling very merry about it. I tried to make myself feel better with the knowledge that no one could help me because my kids are grown and living on their own. But the truth is, even when they were living with me, there were many years I strung lights and placed bulbs solo. That’s just what seems to happen at my house.

Now, I’m not completely complaining. I love Christmas and I insist on buying the biggest balsam fir we can squeeze into our living room. My husband almost has me believing that if I got a smaller one he might help me decorate it. Almost.
So you’d think that I’d learn. Every year, it’s me and the tree. Sometimes I make a fire and put on Christmas music but not this year. I just wanted to get the whole thing over with. I was exhausted from a grueling work schedule, and I wanted to hurry up and get the thing decorated.
