carefully into tissue (said baubles) and tossed into a huge box (tinsel etc). Husband gets anal about the tree lights etc. My kids hate tidying but they LOVE this. They also get to choose the taking down music. I wonder if giving her a specific decoration budget wouldn’t also be better than a zero budget? Maybe combined with trips to thrift shops (where maybe you can also get credit for old decorations?), to get the “shopping bug,” out without going into debt. It’s also a great opportunity for the husband and the kids to share their feelings on the decorations they like best (if they have any). I feel like most of the time we just tell our mothers/wives that “everything looks so great” during the holidays and if we gave specific feedback and create an emotional connection to the objects, that might encourage her to reuse some of those items even if she has a shopping compulsion. I have a family member who went through this. she ended up going to therapy

I’d lose my shit if my girlfriend did that to brand new decorations we bought
