I guess I did make my point, Harriet. DH has been kinda nice today. He hasn't mentioned the absence of Christmas decorations around here. He also didn't walk over and put on the Christmas lights that are still outside. Neither did I.
I guess it was snarky of me. I'm not real proud of myself, neither am I sorry. I mean, would I even be thinking any of this if he wasn't here to share this with me?
I'm reminded of a work colleague the year I was first on my own in a little efficiency appartment. I remember telling her that I had no Christmas decorations and no $ to buy them. She came in that next day with a medium size artificial tree and all the trimmings to give me. They were hers but she said she was tired of putting everything up just for herself. See, her DH was Jewish and didn't celebrate. She was tired of doing it just for her.
Now I gotta figure out what thing I'll continue to do just for me that makes me happy by myself, and that's what I'll continue to do next year.
