Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Because C insisted we not take the tree down until today, it's been practically indecent, clad in nothing but its lights, for the past four days.
A sorry sight really since what's more depressing than a mostly undecorated tree dropping needles in your living room?
The tree knows that we don't want it anymore and frankly it doesn't want be here either. We're just two uncomfortable parties sidestepping one another until one of us finally moves out.
