We do things differently 'round here...

John and I don't do a traditional Christmas. no presents, no tree (if you haven't heard my tree rant, stay tuned for it shall surely surface in the next couple months) no giant snowmen or santa or reindeer in the yard. no church on Christmas eve. I do put stockings on the tanks for the fish and sometimes i put lights on one of the big house plants, but that's it. instead, we pack up and go to Cabo. Last year, the Christmas Cactus bloomed when we were gone, and no one was here to enjoy how pretty it was. It seems to be planning ahead this year and is going to bloom early.
