You know what time it is: it’s time to decorate your home for the holidays while fighting about it with your partner and your children.
Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?!?!
We feel your pain…but just remember, taking the decorations down and boxing them up will bring another round of pain and misery! Yay!
1. This stage takes multiple days.
I like to put up Christmas decorations in stages. This is the stage where I sit on the couch with lasagna and stare at the boxes.

3. Makes a lot of sense.
The prettier the Christmas lights on the outside, the more dysfunctional the family on the inside.

5. Absolutely.
Christmas decorations should come with coupons for couples counseling.

6. Well, that’s ruined…
I liked Christmas lights a lot more when I wasn't involved in putting them up.

7. Daughter wasn’t impressed.
I chuckled this morning as I named the front door Christmas decoration, "Keith the Wreath." My daughter just looked at me like I'm an idiot.

8. I love that song!
Here’s a little song I wrote about putting up outdoor Christmas decorations it’s called “Fuck You Fucking Christmas Lights You Fucking Fucks” and a one and a two

9. An annual tradition.
Half of this strand of Christmas lights doesn’t work so I’m just going to ball it back up and toss it in the bin so it can piss me off again next year.

10. And…we’re done!
My kids: Can we decorate for Christmas now?!
Me: Sure. [puts Santa hat on pumpkin]— Amanda Mancino-Williams (@Manda_like_wine) November 29, 2019
11. Explain that one.
A computer the size of a city block can now fit in your pocket yet a whole strand of Christmas lights still goes dark when 1 bulb burns out.

12. Gonna be a long month.
My husband just brought in 8 boxes of shiny, jingly, Christmas decorations and left me to decorate with three kids so he could do non-time-sensitive pool maintenance.
If he survives it will be a Christmas miracle.

13. He might never come out.
It's that lovely, peaceful time of year when my husband spends all his time alone in the garage detangling the Christmas lights.

14. Might want to take it down a notch.
