Not if you value your life.

I gave it up. Something had to go, because Christmas was no longer fun with everything I had to do. It at least cut one of the tasks out!

Makes me feel better about wearing my same sweaters and jeans year after year.

Pretending it’s summer in my mind and this is what I see outside my window instead of gray and cold. 🌸

Omg I would love that! Thank you for making my day with that post. Loved that show! 😄❤️

Good idea! 😄

Lol, something to consider.

By this point at least 90% of the microplastics in my body are from Christmas decoration glitter.

Lol I live near Cleveland 😂

Ha! Wanted to make everyone jelly of our getaway. 🤣

Hopefully we’ll avoid the dark stuff. 😂

Ha! I’d watch it! 🤣

Oh I know. Try not to be jealous. 😂

😂🤣😂

Ooh, I just checked—it’s a little out of our way but maybe on the way back. Thanks! We’re always on the hunt for great pizza! 🍕

Exactly! And no caregiving duties for a couple of days. 😁🥂

Exactly. 😄 But we’ll hit some pubs, maybe the casino. Mostly it’s just to get a break from the demands of real life. 😝

They do indeed. 😂

I know, right? 🤣

Lol your impression is spot-on. A few days in the Bahamas would be much nicer. We’re quite the adventurers. 😂

My husband and I are escaping to Columbus for a couple of days. Because that’s how exciting our lives are.

And wow, such breathtaking scenery on the drive…

And gorgeously too! 😂

Clearly a cat who wants for nothing. 😂

Lol she probably more than me, because I have to do everything. 😄

They’ve got her place decorated so well.

Christmas tree with red, white, and gold accents.

Pretty tree in my mom’s building. 🎄

Right back atcha!

My son’s favorite! I make them every year even though they’re not my favorite to make. 😄

You’re welcome and thank you! I’m working on a couple things. I’ve been taking care of my mom so less time for things, but such is life. 😁
