Put up a strand of lights and my green lighted tree ornament thingy on the porch. Bought cards and got 6 or so ready to mail. Walked through the stores listening to the Christmas music without cringing.
Then the card list brings up questions of distant relatives, including my whole real father's side of the family, I kind of want to send one to my aunt but not to him, then I question that, should I send to both? Or neither to avoid the issue?
No decorations inside the house yet. Will I buy myself gifts? Wrap them and get up (alone) on Christmas morning and unwrap them? I've actually done this and I kind of enjoy it.
I agreed to go to a dinner with people on Christmas day but I want to get out of it. Haven't yet admitted to my family that I'm not flying home (like most years). I wanted to ask them not to send gifts but I didn't.
For someone who hardly does Christmas, it's a lot of stuff to think about.
