I put up my Christmas tree the other night for only the second time in 10 years. As everyone knows, I am the embodiment of Christmas cheer, outdoing even old Fezziwig of Charles Dickens fame, but since I stopped hosting Christmas dinner from 2009 until last year, I decided to skip putting up the tree during that time. I had bought it many years ago in a wild moment of Christmas cheer. It was not all that expensive, as I recall, and not that fancy. But still, it looks very pretty at night, and after Epiphany, on January 6th, I am always reluctant to take it down. And not just because it is a damn hassle to do so. And by the way, keep in mind that I am the embodiment of Christmas cheer, and so I can say curmudgeonly things like that whenever I want. I have that in writing.
