My s/s attempt was 12/23 last year. I was so gone I wasn't aware of the holidays though.

I'm looking forward to spending a nice, quiet Christmas at home with my husband. The goal is to make it safely to 2016 and beyond.

We stopped putting up a tree a couple of years ago because we have 3 cats. It became a lot more fun for them than it was for us.
10yrs of 3 cats + Christmas tree= too much trouble.
