At most, I'd put out the few cards I got and called it a day. I teach music at my house and one of my student's parents looked around my living room one December and asked if I was Jewish. She was a Jewish History Professor. That was a few years ago and now that I've married a Canadian, our living room looks like the window at Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-17128566981300093232018-01-07T10:53:07.850-08:002018-01-07T10:53:07.850-08:00I used to depend on a sturdy houseplant for my Chr...I used to depend on a sturdy houseplant for my Christmas "tree."

Once I did, I couldn't justify killing trees in their prime of life in "the spirit of the season". We decorated our house plants -- which are huge -- for a while there. But now, we just don't see the point in the whole decorating/gift-buying/gluttony dynamic that is the holidays.

Mine goes back in its box and comes out again the next December. Except now I don't have room for it, so it stays in the box.
