I know many people who work all year to savor the holiday season. I’m not the opposite, but I am nervous about it every year. Maybe it’s because I never quite know how I am going to react to the increased free time. The extra free time does lend itself to some new opportunities to do things that are out of the ordinary. Some of the most memorable events of each year have happened during the holidays. Now that it’s the time of year again, it does make me think about memorable events from the past few holiday seasons. Four Four years ago Michelle helped me do the interior design for my apartment. She couldn’t take that the only things that I had in my apartment were an airbed, bookshelf, nightstand, and desk. I hadn’t put any effort into making my place habitable. That’s what happens when you rarely spend any time at home. The way that I saw it was that once you make the decision to furnish your place, you’re locked into a certain style for a long time. When my apartment was bare, I could let my mind wander and think about the possibilities of how I was going to decorate it.
