GASHWOUND Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Just wondering if I was the only here to not put up a tree? All my friends, my family thinks I'm Scrooge or some s*** cause I didn't put up Christmas decorations.. Well, one thing i put up some Christmas figurines and s*** and some cards, but with me working 10 to 12 hour shifts the last two months I was to exhausted to put up decorations of any kind...my house does look kinda bare..but hey I actually took OT shifts to actually afford presents for my 1000 cousins that I knew I was gonna have to buy stuff for and I wouldn't be flat broke, so I think that makes me full of holiday cheer...risking my insanity to fulfill Christmas wishes.. Come on, I can't be alone..who else doesn't have a tree up...anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Were in the midst of moving so for the first time pretty much ever we didn't put up a tree. My dad was trying to get my to help him put up lights at the place he's moving to, but I was scrooge and told him I didn't want to get off my lazy ass (he wanted me to do it the day after finals). I said we wouldn't be living there anyway during that time so whats the point. Hell I even stooped to gift certificates for my close family this year. Usually I try to be creative but I was worn out after finals and after buying my dad a DVD player for the new tv he bought, I just gave up. Everyone else in my family is a pain to shop for.

The Critic Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I can guarantee that if I wasn't married and a Dad there's about a 0% chance I'd have a tree up. My wife takes care of the overwhelming majority of Christmas-related chores. I basically lug the heavy stuff around and do the shopping for her gifts and I buy a few things from me to the kid. The Mrs. does the rest. I'm not a holiday festive rah-rah guy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Every year we put up Christmas lights outside the house (at least 6k+ lights) but this year we barely put any up. The snow came earlier than usual, hence the reason why we only put up a Santa Claus, snowman, and candle light figurines. But you have to at least have a Christmas tree inside your house. Christmas would not be the same, IMO, without a tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Until I moved in with Brain, he never had any Christmas decorations up unless his mom invaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 On my own, I'd probably go the mini-tree route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mplssoxfan Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I'm single and Xmas isn't one of my fav holidays. Therefore, no tree. No wreath, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
