No. I am white knuckling life just trying to make it. I have no time for traditions.

I do decorate (mostly for christmas) and then forget to put all of it away again. I think I finally removed the last christmas snowglobe i still had out in Sep from last year. Still gonna do it again soon cos Christmas is coming up^^

I live alone, too but since a few years ago I started decorating for Christmas because I like the vibe of it. I got myself a fake Christmas tree from Ikea last year that looks surprisingly good.

For any other occasion I don’t decorate because I don’t participate in it.

I sometimes make decorations for christmas out of sticks, pinecone, and other stuff I find. For Halloween my partner and I will carve a pumpkin. I think for us it has less to do with the holidays and more about bringing the nature of a season inside

Back when I worked in an office I would put up badass president pics Fourth of July. Too lazy to find them, but stuff like Kennedy riding a robot unicorn on the moon, FDR in wheelchair themed power armor, Roosevelt gunning down big foot in a forest fire, etc.

At home, the only significant decorating I do is for Christmas. There’s enough misery out there, and I choose to embrace the joy and the appeal to the better side of our nature. So we have lights, fake candles, and so on, and we put up a tree that gets a new ornament or two every year which fills it with memories. And as a finishing touch we hang a banner declaring “All creatures will make merry under pain of death”
