Answer to Crys from Alison

Crys,

Sounds like you need to talk with your husband about how you feel. It helps

to talk to this group or friends, too, but open communication is the key.

Don't throw everything at him at once, but at least explain how you felt

while you were putting the decoration away. Maybe he'll surprise you.
