I used to love the holiday decorations,
but never could really be bothered. Then,
when it made my wife happy to get lights,
I went all out, making designs with them,
in order to surprise her for a while. That
brought back some of the feelings. There
was always a certain melancholy niceness
to the whole thing. Now I couldn't be bothered
though. Pretty much ruined everything for my
family too, in the end.
