My mom told me that last year around christmas a neighbor came over and pityingly said, "Oh, did you not have a christmas tree this year?" To which my mom said,"Yes, we do have one." And the lady said, "oh, we'll I didn't see it in your window." (I think she thought they couldn't afford one.) And my mom said, "um that's because we didn't put it in the window, we wanted it in the family room where we could enjoy it..."
Welcome to Utah. Apparently, if you don't have your house decorated exactly like all your neighbors, (every house lining the street with the tree in the window), people think either you are a Scrooge or destitute.
*Face palm slap*
The worst part of this story is that this year my mom put the christmas tree in front of their window. As spencer says, "it's a slippery slope."
