The kids keep asking when we're going to decorate the house.
Well, we've suffered several mishaps...
First of all, October proved unnaturally warm. So, of course, we enjoyed the month of October immensely, assuming quite wrongly that November would follow suit.
Far from stopping at simply cold, November brought with it several snow storms. This unfortunate precipitation makes any hanging of outside decorations precarious and downright dangerous. Therefore, the outside of the house will remain sadly unlit.
"Well, what about our tree?" wailed the kids. "Everyone else has a tree and we've got nothing."
Here, Simone is also to blame. She spied a fully decorated Christmas tree gracing the front window of a local townhouse during the mid-October heatwave and decided that she would wait until as late as possible to decorate the darn house. Just because she's a rebel, that's why! Besides, what fool in their right mind would decorate a tree early when two of the household residents are under the age of three and one of them is a dog? Oh, wait. A fool cannot be in their right mind? And anyone with two residents under the age of three, not the result of poor birth control but wilfulness, cannot possibly be sane?
Ah-ha! Point proven. So the house remains undecorated.
... but the Advent calendar comes out today. It cannot be said that Simone Maroney is a complete grinch!
