I never decorate the place, even though I've got a little tree and some light strings.  Probably haven't done it in about 7 years, and I think I just did it half-assed;  put the tree on the table, didn't decorate it, left it at that.
But I was wondering about maybe putting it out.

Can't decide.  Not in the mood for holiday cheer; it doesn't increase shareholder value.   But maybe I should put it up anyway.

Don't decorate the pussy, instead offer to vajazzle the other sort.  :cool:

The Fortress of Solitude is immaculately appointed.   :P

I just don't do the holiday stuff.  Dealt with enough of that growing up, every little holiday turned our house into the Griswold's.  Easter bunny ears on the dog, for fuck's sake.

I figured as a cat person you would decorate. Mine loves to sit under the tree and smack the bulbs and items on the first few branches.

Naw, not worth it.  I won't be able to make it over so the moose eggnog cups would be a waste.

Actually, on second though, it probably pisses of Marti.  Decorate and hum Christmas Carols the whole time and smile to think of his balled up fists of anger.

I said wrap up the cat. I'm on the not worth it vein and the most I get up to usually is a nativity set and some christmas dishtowels. :D

Voted "wrap the cats", by which I mean "put in at least a minimal token effort".

We usually 'decorate' by hanging a wreath on the front door that my elderly shut-in great aunt mails to us.  But for some reason she didn't send us one this year.  Maybe she's dead. :hmm:

You needed to google "Black  memorabilia" (or "Black Americana") and "Christmas" instead. Lots of hits!  :D

So it's settled then: CdM should decorate using a "Black Americana" Christmas theme.  :D

Black Nativity scene would be nice. Jesus was black after all.

Oh, and wrap the cat.
