4. I don't plan on putting up a Christmas tree this year. If someone puts it up, it'll be a small one for the table, but my plan is my nativities all around, some poinsettias and that's it. I feel confident we will recall the Incarnation without a tree. 5. Very little shopping going on either. Yes, there will be presents, just not tons and no stockings. I'm just into into stuff this year.
6. I'm not Scrooge or the Grinch; I'm just tired of all the commercialism and need to do stuff. I want to be - with my family, my friends, the Holy Family. I want to celebrate Jesus.
