The only reason I knew December was approaching was because I only had one more month left on my chart entitled, “GET OUT OF DEBT YOU DUMBASS.” I’m always amazed at how the months in the year can disappear so quickly; and how I can eat five to six donuts in one sitting and still feel hungry. I got out my pre-lit Christmas tree from Wal-Mart a couple of nights ago that I keep stored in a tiny space in my closet with my luggage. The tree is bare because I don’t have any decorations other than silver ornament hooks that I could string month-old shredded wheat onto. And although I had decorations last year, I threw them all away in a fit of rage that may, or may not have included a hand-stitched pillow and everything else that I owned. Except for the repulsive recycled mess that I call a nightstand. I kept that. Over the years, I’ve become less sentimental to things other than my underwear. And I’ll even give those away if I’m persuaded in the right way. So when I was watching last week’s episode of ‘Ugly Betty’ where Betty’s family decorated their tree with hand-made ornaments, I felt guilty for spending $6.00 at the Dollar Tree for cheap ornament balls that I’ll probably toss into the dumpster at the end of the season. Half guilty because I wish I practiced more traditions; and half guilty because I swear I got as many ornament balls for like $2.00 last year. And they didn’t bounce when you dropped them.
