I’m usually a Scrooge about the holidays

I don’t do Christmas trees. It just seems like a lot of work each year, and I really don’t care about the holidays. I did hang up some white lights in the house, but not for xmas - just because I like it as indirect, romantic lighting. It stays up permanently.

What is different this year is that I was unpacking some things I had in storage here in AZ and came across a small handful of Xmassy things, like a Santa hat, a potholder with geese wearing Santa hats, some red fuzzy Christmas stockings, two little Elves that have been in my family since I was a tyke, and two green little jingle bells that someone gave me to wear from my ears (even though I do not have ears that are pierced). So I hung them along the kitchen railing that has some of my white lights.

And I also grabbed some mistletoe from a nearby tree and hung it in the doorway to kiss under.

So in spite of my complete lack of holiday spirit, I actually have a few things up this year after all.
