No wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend to give Christmas presents to. I will send my grandkids, son and daughter-in-law cards with euros inside for Christmas. I think I will give my house-mates - daughter, son-in-law and grandson movie passes. My grandson would probably prefer a prepaid VISA. Ever since my wife passed, Christmas has been pretty low key.
I'll put up some lit fresh wreaths and sprays out front for decoration. They are an easy install and subtle. I dislike outdoor Christmas lights on the house. Haven't decided on a tree yet. Last year, I purchased a Dwarf Alberta Blue spruce and put it on a plant stand in the corner living room windows. After Christmas, I planted it.
