We used to do a lot of Christmas deccos when I was young, something we all looked forward to. I mean, the whole family (minus my deadbeat waste of skin dad) would join in. Now of course things are a lot different, and there's only me to do the decorating. I probably wouldn't bother (Xmas trees are a hassle) were it not for Kar. She's stuck in her room and I have to try to make things as Christmassy as I can for her, so I guess that's what gives me the incentive to get up off my slim ass and get to it. I normally wait till about the day before Xmas Eve though; can't stand having the decs up two weeks before the day, as many people do. I also don't do outdoor decoration a) because I can't and because b) it often looks quite tacky not to mention c) some of the neighbours tend to get into a decoration war about it, and it gets a little out of control. Small and simple, that's my motto.
