My brother died that year, about a month before Christmas. I’m not saying there is a correlation or that it’s even significant. I’ve not associated anything truly negative about not decorating or really give it much thought, but it’s odd to stand back and look in a bit on that idea. Why don’t we anymore? Anyway, like I said, we still exchange gifts and our Christmases are usually very small ( My mom, my sister and I) so I guess there isn’t much need. Everyone hates taking down the crap afterwards anyway haha.
I'm so sorry sorry to hear about your brother

I hate taking down the stuff afterwards too, the ornaments are a pain honestly lol But I like how it looks and it's good for my mental health, puts me in a good mood and makes my apartment feel cozy. I plan on decorating the tree for every holiday I celebrate and the seasons. So like an Easter tree, a St. Patricks one, Halloween, spring, thanksgiving/fall themed. Just something fun to look forward to and get to be creative.
