Well, thank goodness for that free space in the middle! I got that and a few others, scattered about but I don't think I'm a treat anytime soon. I feel sorry for you ladies and your decorating concerns. Since I'm a guy and I live alone, adult children but no grandchildren, my Christmas decorating is easy. Here's a picture of how things look for this year's holiday,

Not too shabby, do you think? Of course, it's just the wallpaper for my laptop but since no one will see it but me, it just seemed a waste to go to all the trouble of setting up the tree, buying a dog, getting a fireplace installed, on and on it goes. So I've captured that coziness, a little creatively! 😉😊🎅🎄
I surely hope that none of you think for a minute that my holiday won't be a happy one because I assure you that it will. I've made it through many a Christmas on my own and it hasn't hurt me yet. So you all enjoy your decorating and keep telling about your families too. I really enjoy reading your messages and I feel quite honored to be a part of this special group! Merry Christmas to all and to all, a good night! 😃🤸♂️👍
It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.
