*Slow claps* Without ratchet straps and industrial duct tape too?

I learned very quickly to wear old clothes to my friends house when her 4 kids were young

that will also be turned towards the wall where no one can see it

Tried to get the cat out again? It happens...

Life hack

fair point

I laughed way too hard at that!

There's no point swineing about it.

wow what a power move

Perfect. I usually do eggnog with extra extra "special" ingredient.

Were they 5 of the 7 words George Carlin told us about? (If you know, you know.)

You actually lasted ten whole minutes?

Admits I am a tad obsessive about decoration placement. It takes about a week of putting them on sitting in different seats and moving them just a smidge this way or that.

I've made the tradition that the kids decorate the tree with their uncle the first night we are all together together over the Christmas holiday, usually Dec 23-24ish.

Funny that at my house Santa got beer and a pack of cheese an onion chips

There was a time when real burning candles were used to decorate the Yuletide trees.

Kind of goes hand in hand with finding pine needles from last year’s Christmas tree in the carpet when you’re vacuuming it in July.

Epiphany is celebrated as the day the Three Wise Men found the baby Jesus and gave him gifts. It’s considered the last day of the Christmas season. It’s more of a Catholic practice than a Protestant one.

I purposely leave Halloween decorations up until Thanksgiving in protest and to send the message that it's not F'N Christmas yet.

You're being entirely too hard on yourself. 1st week of mobility and only a couple fistful of Doggos food washing it down with Doggos water. No sweat! By the time he's 2 he'll have eaten at least half a kilo of dirt! 9/10 from this experienced mom. 👍

We used to open one Christmas present of my parents' choosing. The rest on C-Day

You write for Lifetime, don't you?

I liked decorating the tree as a teenager. I was finally old enough that my parents didn't panic any time I touched a glass ornament

🎶It's the most wonderful time of the year!🎶

Oddly enough, our tree was a mishmash of stuff the kids made for many years and different stuff from years past. Our kids moved away, came back and the tree was "too random". Your welcome :(

Oh ho hoooo!! Good one.

Tried that, didn't work. I got yelled at

"The good kids who will get presents can see it. You can see it can't you?" /S

My job is to get the tree set up, lights and ornaments out of the attic. I do nothing more because apparently there's only one way to decorate a tree and I guess I don't know it lol

Just use plastic ornaments

Is your kid a dog?
