ARE YOUR STOCKINGS HUNG

[username]

Hey user, your kids didn't care that there were no Christmas decorations up?

This is the first year we've put so little up, so late. I finally got some lights on the tree but I'm still waiting for Mr. User to get the damn ornaments down.

My daughter doesn't seem terribly bothered by it but my son is convinced Christmas is gonna suck this year. It won't (after all I did get him that damn iPhone 4s he wanted even though his plan wasn't up for renewal) but I need to snap out of it. I'm not sure why, but I'm very late feeling anything like the holiday spirit this year. I think all the bad news in the media and stuff hasn't helped.

I wouldn't have dreamed of being this late when the kids were younger but they're almost 14. If we pull all the stuff down, they can put it up around the house if they want.
