I&#8217;ll admit that you probably can&#8217;t get away with that if you have young kids, but think of the extra time you&#8217;d have. No crawling into the attic or closet to drag out decorations. No worries over watering live trees or assembling manufactured ones. No carefully unpacking ornaments and putting hooks on them. No extra things to dust around the house.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images1.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/skip-holiday-decor.jpg\" alt=\"skip-holiday-decor\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-134410\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Am I sounding like a Scrooge?<\/p>\n<p>Even without holiday decorating, you can still enjoy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/how-to-make-a-eucalyptus-wreath\/\">Christmas<\/a> music. You&#8217;ll be able to complete holiday baking. And, of course, you can continue do your Christmas shopping. You can celebrate Christmas, but without the extra stuff you have to put away at the end of December. It&#8217;s not like you can&#8217;t see a Christmas tree in nearly every shop or office you visit. Decorations are all around us for the entire month of December. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to have a jolly-free refuge inside your home?<\/p>\n<p>For people with pets, an added bonus of not putting up a Christmas tree or other unusual decor is that you won&#8217;t have to worry with pets disturbing or breaking anything. In the past, my cat has gone bonkers with attempting to eat bows on presents, hooks on ornaments or wax in candles. Yeah, maybe he has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/healthbolt\/top-10-most-outrageous-addictions-and-fetishes\/\">pica<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Besides saving you time, not decorating with lights also saves energy. Yes, I know not decorating for Christmas is a very radical idea, but try it on in your mind for a few minutes to see how you like it!<\/p>\n<p>(Image via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sxc.hu\/photo\/776289\">stock.xchng<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/would-you-ever-skip-holiday-decorating\/\">Would You Ever Skip Holiday Decorating?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re stressed about getting everything done this holiday season, have you considered skipping the decorations?
