Thanks LL, but don't know if I'll bother. My H will probably make me feel guilty about it, but he has not said anything about getting a tree so neither have I. I'll decorate the fireplace and hang all the stockings. That will probably be it. I've forced myself the last two years to decorate when I felt like absolute crap. This year I'm not doing it. I don't see the need to. When I walk inthe empty house with the tree alllit up it just serves to remind me of how H and I used to turn all the lights out and lay on the couch and cuddle and look at the tree. No thanks. Not this year. Rachael
