For those who remember my ex’s obsession with XMAS (he kept an artificial tree in his self made dorm room through spring one year and played carols on Easter), I have a funny update.

I rarely pick up my kids from his place; usually he does the drop off, and enthusiastically so, probably to reduce the chance that Mrs. OW and I have a chance meeting. Heaven forbid we compare timelines. Wink wink.

Anyway, picked up my kids the other day and sure enough, there was a large decorative candy cane in front of his house still! And, in one of the living room windows I saw colored XMAS lights strung like it was a dorm room. Job, hope this gives you a chuckle!

Looks like he is still going through a special time in his life!

So thankful to be free of it all.
