Answer :

I aim loosely for New Year’s Day, but my absolute deadline is January 6th, “Old *********.” My tree never goes up more than two weeks ahead, so it’ll last a while. I’m so sorry you had an unhappy December. Sometimes all the lights and cheer can lift your spirits, and sometimes they just make things feel worse because you are out of sorts and they rub it in. Here’s to a better 2022.
