Since my husband is deployed, I wasn’t planning on putting a up a Christmas tree this year. It’s a lot of work for one person to go buy and set up a real tree, and buying a big fake one seemed like a waste because we usually get a real one. Also, I wasn’t feeling the holiday spirit enough to propel me up into the attic to forage for decorations and lights. At first my son seemed OK with my explanation that we’d be spending Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa’s and they put up THREE trees, so we’ll have plenty!…
