Location: In the Hills of Texas | I probably shouldn't admit this, but we don't own even one Chirstmas decoration. I threw all that stuff out years ago. I am a Bah Hum Bug and can't wait until the first of the year when things go back to normal. Kind of sad..I guess..LOL |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I don't decorate like I used to when the kids were little. I've thrown out a lot of stuff or just don't put it up. We put up a real tree and I put evergreen/berry garland with lights up above my kitchen cupboards. The lighting in here is bad for pictures but I'll try to get one. This is the worst year EVER for me being Scrooge. I hate this feeling. I have a lot of issues going on that I should't let take control of my feelings with Christmas, but they are. |

The Original Cyber Bartender
Location: Washington | CYA, I struggled for the past 2 years. We lost my Mom Dec. 23, 2010 then my father passed in Oct 28, 2012, then my second Mom early this year, and I put down our beloved horse Mongo. So I get what your saying.
I found the desire to go all out this year and I did it for someone I had never done it for before.....me. With all the years of doing it up big it always was for the company coming and when we were active military living on Post you basically got told to do up the homes.
It was fun for me this year....and enjoyed the many memories I have been given and blessed with....just needed to remind myself of them.
SO for those who don't decorate, I will share mine! |

I find using pictures that are already posted on my facebook are easier to upload here.
So hopefully you have facebook? |

Thank you FC. I'm trying to just get through this year and try to work on my issues in the next few months. I need to learn to enjoy it for myself like you are. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I lost both of my parents, they pased away 3 years apart. And it was so sad for us, my Dad died Dec. the 22 and buried him on the 23th, then 3 years later my mom passed and she died on Dec. 21 and we buried her on the 23rd also and of course they are next to each other. So Christmas is not much of a joy for me and my sister. If it was not for my grandbabys I would not do much either, but I love seeing their eyes light up with all the Christmas that i do for them. Having little kids around heal me of my sadness, so I got back into the Christmas spirit once again. Merry Christmas

Location: Kansas | FC you need to explain about the geese. Using items from loved ones means so much too me, especially when hand made.
I know my mother would expect me to carry on with Christmas traditions and to develope new ones. It's just not the same, but I can't not decorate or celebrate. My father and I have started new traditions with some great friends. They have helped to fill the void. Good friends are priceless.
Each person needs to do what is right with them and what makes them comfortable.
