The Grinch Decorates / myLot

United States

December 2, 2023 7:19pm CST

Even though my wife told me today that I am reverting back to The Grinch, even suggesting my shoulders are starting to hunch and my voice is becoming more gravelly as we get closer to Christmas, we did manage to get the inside of the house decorated a bit. We have the tree up and we took down a lot of the pictures to replace with Christmassy decorations. I try to get into the spirit, but I really AM Grinchy. It is what it is. I admit I had some fun with some of the Christmas decorations. It's still not my time of the year. But oh well. If you can't beat them? Join them.

Sounds like you made the best out of a bad situation. Well, the situation wasn’t bad, just your thoughts on it, but you power through it. Now you can relax and go back to being a Grinch.

@moffittjc Is that the operative word? "Yet."

We haven't put our tiny tree up yet; and there is no wreath on the door. We'll get to it sometime soon. You are the Grinch; and my husband is the curmudgeon. Have a great day.

@LindaOHio Well, I WILL admit I am more GRUMPY than I used to be. My wife also makes it a point to let me know often as well. lol

I wish I could say I am this way just because I am getting older. But I have sort of always been this way. lol

As long as you're not turning furry in that yellow-green color yet, you're still ok

. It's still a wee bit early for me . . . maybe I'll get into the spirit when it gets closer - like the day before

We have the inside decorated quite nicely now. My wife really gets into it. I wish I could say the same for myself. lol

Embracing the holiday spirit, even with a hint of Grinchiness

Sometimes, the reluctant participants end up having the most fun with decorations. Do you have a favorite part of the decorating process, or is there a specific decoration that brought a smile to your face?
