The following is an excerpt from the book, Tinsel by Hank Stuever.
Tammie, who most of the year is one of those mothers devoted to her children's success in school, maintains a business on the side: She does people's Christmas decorating for them, because they no longer want to do it themselves. She charges by the hour. It's not that she needs the money. It's that Christmas needs her.
It is stil rag out all her cardboard boxes and Rubbermaid tubs of Christmases past from spare closets, extra bedrooms, garages, and walk-in attics. These spaces are usually filled to bursting with the signs of full-blown affluenza: never-ridden bikes and hardly trod treadmills, abandoned lamps, vases, pots, boxes and boxes marked "keepsakes."
Tammie will take a long look at the Christmas junk, zeroing in first on the key item: What condition is the family's artificial tree in? (Tammie's rule on prelit Christmas trees is that anything less than 100 lights per foot isn't worth assembling.) Next, she wants to know what the client had been doing on her front door, porch area, and foyer. (A wreath? Of greenery or of decorative twigs? Ribbons?) What sort of Nativity scenes does she own? (This is also Tammie's way to ascertain, if she does not already know, the degree to which the house is, in her words, "Christ-centered.") What objects should go in the kitchen? How to decora odates her idea that she is work
