Am I a Scrooge?

Fans,

I beginning to feel a tinge of worry. I know I enjoy Christmas- overeating and overspending happen to be two of my best skills. I do not, however, enjoy decorating. I know other people have cute decorations and seem to enjoy it... I, on the other hand, did not so much as bring a box of ornaments up from the basement this year! It was easier to pick up a box of plastic ornaments when I was out one day. $10 to not worry with dust/unpacking/carrying things... Seems sensible to me. It looks pretty weird, but whatevs.

When I attempt psychoanalyzing myself to determine whether or not I have a problem, I realize it all goes back to Christmas as a child. I did not participate in decorating the tree even then. Some kids LOVED putting ornaments on the tree. I never thought about it... my mom would handle it all while we played...or better yet, she would handle it while we slept and everything would be pretty the next morning...or she would handle it while we were at school...

I DID always love what was under the tree! Some things never change...

Will I decorate when I have children one day? ABSOLUTELY not! What do you think my mom and friends are for? Or I guess I could just put the kids to work. That might be fun. Make them APPRECIATE the hard work that goes into it all. Brats!

Now that I've put it all out there, I'm so not a scrooge. I love to bake, shop, and eat. And I love Jesus. And family and friends. And I love their decorations! I'm just not good at decorating. Oh and I LOVE glitter. Glitter eyeshadow, glitter on cards, glitter EVERYWHERE...

XOXO & Merry Christmas,
UB
