The Christmas lights for the house - I have 23 and 13 yr old (very big for his age) sons living with me and neither one lifted a finger to put them up. By the way the 23 yr old is unemployed and has been for years. Therefore, I refuse to do it. I just can't get motivated for some reason.
The tree - We always get a real one because we love the smell of the pine. It's a nice looking tree but at $83.00 it somehow takes the spirit away every time I look at it.
Satisfying my wife with the right gift - well it doesn't really matter what I get her short of a $2000.00 ring she won't like it.
Ash is right. The only good thing is getting together with family and friends!
And as far as whining I actually feel a little better now! I'm glad you brought the subject up Horse.
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
SnaKe

LOL!!!
I'll start off with saying Merry Christmas!
As for Christmas lights, it's the exact opposite, if I don't do them, they probably won't happen. Since I've been ill (3 years) I haven't put the lights out like I used to. Plus school is taking time, not to mention things like chores, trains, computer, etc. Just glad I finished that powerpoint for school, I feel like the day was lengthened by several hours.
I also enjoy getting a tree, plus the price always remains the same, about 30 bucks. ($83? That's a lot)
I've always been one to decorate, which has really made the house look good. (Still haven't put the hooks for pictures back in the wall.
Normally I hang wreaths from them...)
As time goes by, I enjoy it more, but the last few years I kind of foget it's Christmas. Still don't know why...
P.S. The only thing that makes me mad around Christmas is always the lack of snow, otherwise, I enjoy every part of it.
