Decorating

It's not what's under the Christmas tree that matters, but who's around it.

I agree, Charlie Brown. I think you can have gifts or not. You can decorate or not. And if you do decorate, it doesn't matter how you decorate. It's about the people you get to spend time with.

I think this message is emphasized in a quote from my own family. Here is that quote --

Erik's Kid: (not sure which one it was) Wait - that's not an ornament!  That's a tag from a sweatshirt!!
