Should I or shouldn't I?

For the last few years I have debated whether or not I should put up my little artificial tree. Every year I lost the battle and put it up against my better judgement. This year I am opting not to bother.

Why you might ask?

It reminds me that I mostly have a family that doesn't care if I exist or not. The tree reminds me of all the times I have spent holidays alone. It seems a little ridicules to bring out something that will cause negative feelings.

So I think this year I will just settle for my collection of snowmen. Most of them bring out happy memories of times past.
