Hanging ornaments on tree.
16yo son has severe menstrual cramps.
You want to let me do this?
I wanted to help.
How about you take some Pamprin, hang your ornament, and I hang everything else including the ones with your Dead Name that (dead) grandmom gave you.
"Thanks."
I cannot be trusted with action figures.

My hope for everyone who does a #Christmas tree is to be so well-loved and live such a life that when time comes to decorate the tree you have to assign ornaments to next year, because there are so many gifted with love.
Decorating the tree is like a trip into the past every year.
I do appreciate that some households put up new decorations every year. I am glad it works for them.
That's not how my family has worked, though.
Every ornament I pull out of the box has a memory of a time attached to it.
Once a year I get to spin through time over the course of an hour that feels like 50 years.
Some were shit.
Some were wonderful.
They made me.
