I can!!! I love lights, garlands, trees, ornaments, sparkle, glitter, and colors!

Especially knowing some kinda Hell is on it's way. Storing it in a treasure box of wonderful memories.

Making new decorations. Will see 2 of NYC's big outdoor trees, etc.
I won't "let the bastards drag me down"...(at this point).

I do understand the other way some people are feeling.
