all of my shit in a bucket tossed sloshing about every year at the holiday without fail doubt the shit rises to the top a stench that remains from my past I carry the weight of my shit hoping it doesn’t spill out onto our carefully selected tongue and groove wood floors and my wife doesn’t scold me for dumping it everywhere without care of the stink or mess it leaves for her to clean up.

Sometimes spilling it over in small doses is better than a big storm explosion.

Perhaps you should try and talk her into just putting up a manger scene as that is what the holiday is about. I have a lot of bad memories of Christmas, really all the holidays growing up. I don’t enjoy all the commercialism so a manger makes it easy and where the focus should be. Hugs and hoping things go better this year. Hugs to you and your family. ❤️🤗🦋🥰

You are very welcomed. Good luck, maybe Santa will take all the decorations when he comes except the manger.
