I did all the errands!!!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yay, go you!
And oh, luxurious fair trade bath fizzy was luxurious! It smelled so good and felt nice and was just generally great.

Ooh! Third time's a charm, or posting makes it happen. Got right through, AND they gave me the answer I wanted. Yay for being in good standing!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I love the red and green decorations. Evergreen and holly berries are just winter shit. Like snow. Except in Socal, where we just get dust storms, which aren't as pretty.
Onerous task: scheduling a meeting with VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE who all insist that this VERY IMPORTANT MEETING take place either monday or tuesday. Great. Except that their calendars are filled and they can't move these other meetings.
I suggested a rift in time-space.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
As a shiksa married to a Jew, I haven't that much trouble finding good holiday decorations. I buy all the sparkly decorations I want, but keep them in the blue and silver color range. I also find a lot of wintry-type decorations, like [link] and this: [link] Or a bunch of these: [link]
I also collect snow globes and put those on the mantel, and just avoid any baby Jesus ones.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My mom was trying to find some winter decorations for the house that were not Christmasy.
My mom has some snowman decor, so it does exist. I'll bet there are also lots of snowflake things.
There are actual snowmen out along my street. One is nearly 6' tall and has a carrot nose and coal eyes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Despite many years in northern climes I don't (yet) associate Christmas (or December) with snow, and have a massive eye roll at faking that stuff. It's avoid-worthy!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am not doing any significant decorating until I turn in final grades, but I did get a tiny wreath to put on the car, as per my DH's request. Oh! And the car has been washed--woot!

Party City had a buttload of snowmen/snowflake decorations.
