I don’t put up a tree either, though I do like to put out some nice candles and Christmas decorations. If I’m lucky, we’ll have snow on the ground for Christmas, which helps the outdoors look like the season. We’ve had snow already this year, even one very heavy snowfall, but it’s not stuck around yet.

I look forward to throwing out some sunflower seeds for the doves when we get a bit of a permanent cover.
