Well, I never did much in the way of outdoor Christmas lights. I used to put them in the windows and sometimes a wreath on the door, but that was about it. You're right, and if I had the heart to do it, or maybe if my family was around, I'd be the same way. If I had young children at home I would too. Now more than ever. Even if the kids were going to be here for Christmas, I would have made a lot more of an effort. But when it's just me, there seems to be no point. It would just be spending more money that I didn't have to do something that I wouldn't enjoy. It would just make me sad.

Oh I didn't mean to say that you had to be obnoxous like me .. I just meant to say that it's up to each of us to celebrate christmas in a way that makes us happy and christmas feel special

I'm sure that as my kids grow older and move out that I won't do as much .. but I hope to still be somewhat obnoxious .. it's in my blood *L*
