I have to confess that this year, I chose to barely decorate as I have been in the midst of home renovations. I could not get to my garage attic where the decorations are stored as my once clean garage was filled with storage overflow and building supplies. I wound up buying a small pre-lite cooper wired tree, placed it on my tall cafe table and used the Xmas tree skirt as the table cloth. We placed our gifts under the table. It worked just fine. A wreath on the door, a holiday night lite in the kitchen and scented candles did the trick. So I was not a complete bahumbug this year. Clean up was a snap! Seems like this would work for anyone dealing with pain, right? What did others do?
