Dp up until a few yrs ago never celebrated Christmas. He isn't a big fan of it even now, hates all the commercialisation and pressure to buy plastic tat etc.
I love Christmas however this year is a little sad for me because I have to work Christmas Eve and Boxing Day and therefore can't make it back to see my family on Christmas Day. We will be spending the day with his family but it isn't quite the same and I am a bit down that I won't be seeing my family.
Anyways, we went to the supermarket earlier and I said I wanted to get a Christmas tree while I was with him as I can't drive and needed him to take it home in the car. I wanted a 6ft one but he absolutely refused, said it wasn't too much money (was £25) and I should get the 3ft one instead. We are a bit short on money at the moment but a 3ft tree is just so small and not Christmasy to me. I relented in the end and got the small one but it looks so rubbish just shoved in the corner.
Am sat here crying because I'm just so sad. I'm fairly sure iabu because it's just a stupid Christmas tree and in all honesty the £20 I saved not buying the bigger one can be spent on other stuff (and we really have no space to put a big one) but aibu? My sister was supposed to be coming round in a few days so we could decorate it together and do Christmas stuff but it's so small it seems a bit pointless
