It's finally the holiday season, which means people are putting up their Christmas trees, lighting their Hanukkah menorahs, shopping for gifts, and putting up holiday lights and decorations.
As a kid, my favorite thing about preparing for the holidays was wrapping presents with my mom. My brother, on the other hand, always liked putting Christmas ornaments up on the tree.
When I moved to my own place after college, I couldn't wait to get my own tree. I picked up a small artificial tree from Target (it was the only thing that made sense for my tiny apartment), but I quickly realized I needed to buy a bunch of ornaments.
I gathered up a few boxes of Christmas balls, but when I put them on my tree, it was underwhelming; it looked boring and plain — neither of which are ways I'd describe myself. I'd never thought about the fact that my tree and its decorations would say so much about me.
