I don't know what happened. I've always put the tree up. But this year, it remains safe in the garage. So, call me lazy.

But your parody hit home. The perfect song for my Christmas ennui.

Great stuff, Mark.

Thanks, John. We actually put up a small artificial one this year. We never do that! Strange times we live in. 🙂

Thanks. My time as an in-house father is long over. My three daughters are all in their 30s. I am mainly a Grandpa now to my five grandsons.

Of course, you never really stop being a parent. But the hard work is mostly done. 🙂

Ummm...let's not tempt fate. We still encounter some hard work with ours who are in their 40's. Gkids are fun though!
