Thanksgiving, Hanukah, two birthdays and Christmas. All in one month. I'm already exhausted!
Was all over God's creation today while youngest was in school, running errands and shopping for the holidays. Came home to a completely dark house because my green husband, who works out of the home, doesn't turn on lights. At 52, I need light in order to not kill myself coming in the garage door into the kitchen  Asked him to leave a light on for me until the days get a bit longer. He first said no, then said if he remembers. Typical granola-crunchy Dem   You'd think we live in the depression era!
Guess who's 'forgetting' to put up the Christmas tree this year. Kids are all older and I've done Hanukah. If he wants festive, looks like he's doing the work. If he's done nothing by Christmas eve, I'll put a few ornaments on the ficus Less work for me - yay

| That's why you shouldn't marry someone with a different religion--too much work to celebrate Christmas AND Hanukah! |

| Put a light on a timer. |

| I think that's the next step. We have a motion sensor light in the garage and in the pantry. Even a night-light sort of thing would help. |

It's actually pretty fun, but yeah, were I to do it again

Can you come over and string the old-fashioned lights for me that he prefers and check each one when one of the strings doesn't light? I'd rather play my guitar... |

Wow OP, I got exhausted just reading your post. Lol. 
Anyway, I think your hubby should most definitely be on board more helping you out. After all, Jesus was a man. >=== Sorry, just remembering the true reason for the season, I guess. I agree that the holidays are a very stressful and busy time for families...uh...women. The shopping, planning, hosting, cooking, decorating, wrapping, mailing, etc. It's true madness. Aren't holidays supposed to be FUN???!! |

| OP, I could have written that post myself minus the light in the garage. I love the holidays but definitely do all the work myself. I just keep in mind that I am doing it for me and the kids. If he doesn't care then I don't get upset about it, but also don't go out of my way to please him, he actually doesn't care. |
