3. If the holiday is a remider of past misery, even though you didn't ask for any suggestions,

might I suggest being a bit selective and only put up/out the decorations which you think will best bring you joy, or evoke any other mood that you might wish to anticipate experiencing during the 35 days.

I tend to put out only a handful of old favorites that bring good memories, and what I put out might change from year to year.

Sorry you find yourself wearing a mask and in performance mode.
