Then there’s the "December 23rd" crowd. These are the people who buy whatever scraggly tree is left in the lot for half price. They do it because they’re busy, or they thrive on chaos. My cousin Sarah is like this—she puts the tree up while still wearing her pajamas on Christmas Eve morning.
You know what? Her tree always looks perfect. Maybe it’s the pressure, or the fact that she doesn’t have time to overthink the tinsel placement. There’s a certain freedom in being last-minute. The tree becomes a frantic, joyful blur of leftover lights and laughter.
The late tree has one big advantage: novelty. You never get tired of it because it’s only up for two days. The downside? You miss out on the whole month of cozy vibes. It’s like skipping the first three acts of a movie and only watching the finale.
