I don't know! I'd tried to be understanding. I didn't complain in December or January or February or March ... April is when I gave up on understanding and moved to "DUDE WTF?"
Dude. A Christmas tree still up this time of year is annoying/embarrassing no matter *what* one's religion might be. Talk about lazy roommates! I hope they do dishes, at least . . . :/
They had a christmas tree up in April? Weird. I wish it was acceptable to not celebrate Christmas because of atheism, but no, I just get called a grouch.
Really? Wow. I can't say I know a lot of Jewish people, but many people round here are Muslim or Hindu and... yeah, no one seems bothered that they don't celebrate it. It's not their religion, so why should they? (Although the people who own the local shop take any excuse to shut early.)
Different perspective and, well, different continent, though. I'm sorry you go through that kind of narrow-minded shit.
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.

And I join the confused masses in the "They still had it up after Easter?" confusion.

Because then - well, it would be. Very silly looking, but appropriate.

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.
