I’m single, live alone and don’t wanna spend the money or decorate for Christmas. The holiday is fine, just hate the idea of buying and hoarding stuff just to use once a year for a month.

If I lived alone I think I would get a natural 4-5 ft tree and throw some lights and fun little knick knacks on it. Tree stand + whatever can fit in a shoebox that fits under my bed would be about my limit.

It gets so dark this time of year and I think my silly little brain finds comfort in the lights.

I didn’t get around to taking the Christmas lights and garland off of the banister last year. At 1st I was a little ashamed. And then I realized it’s kinda nice to be able to plug those lights in for some nice ambiance throughout the year.

Yap, the tree is the worst. We threw out the box or something and we have no idea how to take down ours, so its been up all year in a little corner

I have a small apt and just got a Norfolk Pine - I am always amazed at how many decorations people hoard! My little tree will stay up all year and the little decorations fit in a small water bottle box.

Same, mostly. I have a small retro ceramic tree that I put up after Halloween. It’s nostalgic, brings me joy, and fits in a compact box in my closet. It’s really the only holiday decoration I have because I don’t like storing things I only use once a year.
