Le sigh

Because I don't want to jinx things, I haven't said much about the house torberg and I have a rental application in on. But there is one thing for sure: no Christmas in my house for me again.

See, our lease is up on Dec. 31. We need to move because between the two of us, the impending kidlet, and the housemate, we are plumb outta room. And so, we move. In late December. Again. (Don't worry: since it's only 0.7 miles between where we are now and the place we hope to be going, we're pretty sure we can afford movers this time.)

Which means there's absolutely no point in hauling out the Christmas tree, putting garland and lights around the windows, digging out charlotteb_'s menorah, nothing.

Pooh.

I love the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree idea. If I lived closer I'd bring you one.

Maybe the "unpack one or two meaningful things" will feel less taxing on Saturday. Or I did like the "buy some cheap stuff and put it up" and would add that you could donate it to, say, a women's/children's shelter or nursing home after Christmas if you'd rather not move and store extra stuff. If "solution mode" is pissing you off, I beg forgiveness--I just got all excited by your friend shadowcaptain there!

I moved the last weekend in December about 10 years ago, just after Minneapolis Nationals. It snowed. It sleeted. The driveway and front porch of both places were covered in ice. It sucked. My dad, who basically would cut off his left arm to help me (or anyone, really) looked deep into my eyes and said, "We are NEVER doing this again." All other moves have been at more temperate times.

Yay for movers, though!

Well, we seriously lucked out when we moved into this current house on 6 Jan. It was about 70 degrees with clear skies and dry ground. Crossing fingers for this go.
