When I was single, I had a "Christmas Stick" tradition. I would go out and find a suitably sized tree branch that had fallen to the ground and bring it home. I would hang it from the ceiling with twine or fishing line, and then I would decorate it in the usual way with lights and little ornaments. It was very cheerful, and I often miss it, especially when the holidays become stressful with all the demands we place on each other.
