I'm not really at war with Christmas. it is more like passive resistance. I opted out after my daughter grew up, about 20 years ago. I have not bought a Christmas present or a card since. One member of my family is really into it, and gives everyone a present every year. Does anyone here know how long it takes a single guy to eat a honey baked ham? The others rack their brains every year trying to think of presents to mail to people they only see about once per year. I suspect that they are very relieved that they don't have to shop for me.
I have a pre-decorated 24 inch tree that I pull out of the closet. I still buy my two grown children presents, but that's about it.![]()
My sole concession to Christmas is putting Santa Claus hats on my cactus. We have to put something on them in case of a freeze, so it might as well be that.
