Santa Has a Death Wish

Five lessons of my first solo Christmas tree

It’s my first Christmas tree in five years. A growing puppy discouraged a tree from 2018–2020.

Last year, my father was dying, and I was just beginning to peel back the layers of my husband’s iniquity. Yuletide cheer was in short supply. So no tree in 2021 either.
