it's good you're aware. Being that kind of drunk is bad

I gotta find the Festivus pole somewhere in the basement, and once it's up, I have to start the Airing of Greivances now rather than on the traditional Day of Festivus because if I don't I won't get through them all. I got a lot of problems with you people!

We early morning runners already have to deal with diminished mental capacity; why would you take away the only thing we have to look forward to at this time of year? Harumph.

I have a small apt and just got a Norfolk Pine - I am always amazed at how many decorations people hoard! My little tree will stay up all year and the little decorations fit in a small water bottle box.

I’m a 9/10 on the Marie Kondo minimalism spectrum and almost threw away my Christmas tree last year. I’m sure u/I-got-a-truck was disappointed to be out of a gig when I realized I could use the top 1/3 of the tree as my entire holiday decor. I’m putting it up this week in time to host a party. Yay!

Edit to add: Life pro tip.- medals from running races make excellent ornaments. If you’re like me, they sit in a box for 11 months a year.

i’ve seen a couple leucistic ones over in forest hill

I still got my Halloween stuff up. Idk about Christmas stuff.

I gotta stop doing shots yall, always gets me saying dumb shit and making people uncomfortable.

Fuuuuck.

Likewise, put the outside lights up when it was around 75 a while ago, no regrets. Apartment is cozy as all get out

and i gotta get the outdoor stuff (mainly inflatables that probably need to be fixed) put up. busy week i guess.

My mom wants to leave at 12:30PM for an 8PM flight out of Dulles. She's not driving so no, we're not. We're leaving at 3PM.

If I lived alone I think I would get a natural 4-5 ft tree and throw some lights and fun little knick knacks on it. Tree stand + whatever can fit in a shoebox that fits under my bed would be about my limit.

It gets so dark this time of year and I think my silly little brain finds comfort in the lights.

put up the fake tree yesterday. ornaments go on today after the kids get home from school.

Tobacco Company has a huge tree and is a beautiful space for pictures.

Check out Kid to Kid and Once Upon a Child as well.. They usually have bows and accessories.

The morning after Thanksgiving I was off of work so I asked my son "what do you want to do today?" after he woke up. His immediate response was "Now Christmas!" So, yes, our decorations are up. I still need to put the lights up outside, but almost everything is up inside.

ooh good idea.

Get better soon!

Keep an eye out for upcoming craft fairs, there is almost always someone at those selling bows.

I'm not decorating this year. Might get a string of lights for outside but no tree. I just don't have room right now.

This one is for work, slightly less exciting than the last few. 😂

Decorations went up on Saturday, except for the outside stuff. I was going to do that yesterday, but rain and life got in the way. So outside decor will have to wait until... not sure. Tomorrow? Maybe.

Dog do you hate town now? You’re always somewhere cool these days

101.4 fever… think I’ll just stay in bed until new years

This.
