I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!I have to admit it is pretty and it makes the Christmas lights look even prettier, but I am not the world's biggest fan of snow. One day snow is just right, in my opinion. Then it can melt and go away. The roads were bad and we went early to the chiropractor to try not to be on the roads after dark. I am bummed about missing the "Christmas star" today, though. Jupiter and Saturn were in alignment for a couple of hours today and were supposed to create the effect. Won't happen like that again for another 80 years. Hopefully it is on youtube somewhere from a place that had clear skies or maybe NASA has it. Not quite the same as seeing it in person.
I think it will probably all melt tomorrow based on the weather forcast and I can go get done what I wanted to get done, namely, buy the standing rib roast, and yellow potatoes for Christmas dinner. Tomorrow is the last day of the sale. I have corn and green beans, so we are set for that. We'll probably need some egg nog and some more milk, too. And I want to pick up some PH water, too as it helps with the heartburn.
So today was obviously a no spend day, but only because I had to put it off. We did finally get the Christmas tree put up. It has lights but no ornaments and I'm not sure I'm going to bother. It looks pretty as it is and I am just really tired. No one else seems to want to do it, so I'm kind of meh about it. I wasn't even going to bother with a tree, with my sister and her stuff here there really isn't room, but got pestered about it by my mother. I just don't have the energy to put them up and take them down, and my back still doesn't like me reaching so that's the way it is going to be. I can't do it all by myself and I won't.

I'm sorry you aren't getting help with the tree. Honestly, if you don't want to deal with it, then enjoy the simplicity and take good care of yourself.
