Christmas has a lot of sense if there are kids around, it’s for them but for us too because you want to surprise them and the decorations / lights bring happiness, probably as someone as said in this thread
it brings back childhood memories. Usually is good when you start decorating, making the tree ?
The long ,boring part is when you need to put back everything. My Mom used to do a smaller tree each year till we got a fake one . She decorated it and , at the end of the festivities, put it back with the decoration still on in a big plastic bag. The next Christmas was ready to go , fast on , fast back in the bag. ?

It also instill family union. All together decorating a Christmas tree is a happy occasion that's usually void of discord between family members, or friends even.

i know zero about birds other than the normal garden variety, but my daughter saw this guy in my neighbor's tree while we were doing yardwork today. i think it's a cooper's hawk based on my quick visit of google. He was asleep in the tree when I first got there, but my daughter was literally holding branches out of my way as i shot over the fence through more branches, hence some of the haziness. he kindly opened his eyes once i got situated.

It does indeed look like a Cooper’s. They come at their prey from the side (rather than above) and will often hang out in trees looking for a dove or robin to surprise. They are very fast when hunting.
