aside: broken rib
Published by reverendmother 10 months, 3 weeks agoDid I mention that R thinks he broke a rib when he fell down the stairs? Poor baby. There’s nothing you can do but take drugs for it. But let’s just say the Christmas tree is still up…

Oh, poor R!
And Christmas trees just have to be down for Easter. You’ve got time.
ugh! sorry, r. the mr. cracked a rib this summer. he just waited it out, basically, while i tried not to laugh at him for the ridiculous manner in which he broke it (on a boogie board… no, really).
I was in S Louisiana when my daughter was born in February. I just joined in the Cajun tradition of keeping the tree up, taking down the Christmas decorations, and hanging Mardi Gras decorations. Actually, I just hung the necklaces that we caught during the parades. Aaahh… I miss that. The tree was good until Lent.
My mom and I kept our tree up until March one year. I lost track of time and forgot to take it down before I had to leave for college, and she wasn’t strong enough to do it herself (she had had some health problems over the course of that year). I was student teaching, so even though I was coming home almost every weekend, I just didn’t have time for something so trivial.
