Did your caretakers decorate your home for the holidays or seasons growing up?? Do you do the same now? I don't have any children myself, but one of my favorite things about having my own house is being able to decorate for the seasons.
My friends think it's cheesy and a waste of time or money. I think it brings color and fun into my life. It doesn't matter what they say, it doesn't bother me (it's my house, literally 0 guests have been over in 2 years so why do I care what anyone says lol).
I asked one of my friends why they don't decorate for their children besides the big holidays (Christmas or maybe Halloween). Their response was "Did you find decorating your parent's house fun as a child? Cuz I sure as fuck didn't"
I did find it fun. I felt that it was something we didn't get to do much after awhile because a) decorations cost money and we were kind of poor growing up and b)why decorate the outside of your house when you live in the middle of no where and people won't see it?
I felt left out. I would see the decorations in the store. I would see the decorations in a few of my friends houses. I guess it's just some weird symbol of "Americana" to me. Like you have your life together. Like everything is perfect.

I am thankful to be in a position where my fiance can splurge on things like this to make me happy.
