Hi Daisy,
One of the reasons I hate this time of the year is that the world is supposed to instantly turn into a greeting card photo. Dad in his red sweater, mom in her pearls, Daughter in her sweater and son in his baseball cap grinning at the camera. Pleeh (sound of sticking my tongue out.)
That wasn't my family, the greeting card family doesn't fight, no one grumbles about his/her lousy gift and the cat doesn't throw up on the new comforter or worse, yet, pee on something.
I don't think you should decorate a tree at all. It's work that you don't need right now. If your son asks where the tree is, tell him that you'll take him to pick one out and it's his turn to decorate it. Take the burden off yourself, Daisy, you have way too much on your shoulders without adding holiday guilt to it.
Life is not a greeting card unless it's one of those sarcastic ones.
