No Christmas Tree?!

I can't believe I'm sitting in my living room right now with no Christmas Tree. I'm not sure what's going on with me this year but I don't feel as happy with this upcoming Christmas as I usually am. I usually have a bunch of decorations by now, and especially a Christmas Tree! I usually buy a real one, even though I'm sure i'd save a ton more money with with a fake one, I just always loved the real ones more. (The smell.) Since my Grandma passed last month, I'm not really as energetic with the Holiday this year! I'm debating if I should still get one or not. I don't know. It feels weird without having one. Maybe I will. Just slow this year. I'm sure most of you have your Christmas Tree up by now!

I'm not doing a tree because it's just me. But I think you should do a tree because that's something you enjoy. And I think your grandma would want you too. :-)

I don't know but i feel the same way too, I just put in mind that behind the lights, glamour and glitter was a child born in a manger who would later become a way of salvation for all of us who believe, i think of all my blessings most especially my great wife and the kids then everything just brightens up and becomes "Christmasy" again. Yes i know how it feels when there is a loss but somehow we need to go over it, so cheer up and don't let things get you down. Best wishes and good luck

If you put up a tree, you will feel more like it's Christmas.

We have decided to skip the Christmas tree this year. I just don't seem to have the energy to deal with all that.

I would suggest you do not bend backwards to have that tree. I know what is stopping you and that is you are missing your grandma. Do what your grandma would have felt happy if she was around. Just a thought.

Our Christmas tree is up, but I still don't feel the holiday spirit

I just put the Christmas tree up a couple hours ago. We're just keeping it small this year.
