Phew!

I finally got up the nerve to ask the housemates to take down the xmas tree and they said yes! My house is once again Jew-friendly!

While customs vary in the Christian and pagan households I've been in, the general sense is that the Christmas/Yule tree is typically considered

-seasonal through New Years.
-potentially acceptable whether through laziness or some other made up winter observance until about the 2nd weekend in January
-*cough* the holiday is over *cough* after January 15
-Hello! Groundhogs Day! Don't see any shadow fearing rodents in that tree.
-It's Valentine's Day, get rid of the damn tree already.

- Post-Easter? WTF!

And that's all assuming that the entire household was behind the idea of celebrating one or both of those holidays in the first place.

How was that house hunting going?

Ugh. I am struggling between:

1) A mortgage payment that's 28% of my income and puts me in a nice townhouse.
2) A more conservative mortgage payment which puts me in a small condo.

I don't know.
