I also am avoiding the decorating thing this year. So far, the only decorations in the house are what we've brought home from preschool (most of which are hung in the kid's room), the wrapped presents lined up on the piano keyboard (can you tell how often we play?), and just today we hung the boy's stocking, because mom only finished stitching it last month so it was already in the house. Tomorrow I should really dig out OUR stockings, too...
