November 25th
With Thanksgiving's gluttony behind me and a month of rampant consumerism in my immediate future, I decided to give in to holiday kitsch. For the first time in my adult life, I erected a Christmas tree and decorated it with all the childhood ornaments my parents were only too happy to unload. Seeing as I haven't decorated a tree in at least five years, it was a hoot to unwrap all the decorations and tell their story to my holiday helper, Lori.
I had a rather pleasant evening lying on the couch in the glow of the tree. And let's face it, even if the city gets overrun with tourists this time of year, New York City is at its most special when it's all gussied up for the holidays.

huh huh huh.... erected
HA!!! I was totally going to comment on the Christmas Tree erection and someone beat me to it! I have a boner for your tree (sorry if you dad reads this comment. Sorry Mr. Martin). I am also jealous as this is the first Christmas that I have ever had where I have not had a tree. I am too tired and too alone to bother. That and I just erected $2,000 worth of furniture from Ikea. I don't want erect anything else for a while. You there that boys? I don't want anymore erections! You are totally deleting this comment...
