I applaud your niece! Stranger danger! Obviously Dave does not know how lucky he is to have someone so nice. LOL well, I can honestly say that I hope I decorate until the day I die, but sometimes the older people find that it's more trouble getting everything out and making it nice for nobody but themselves. So, I guess there's that. On the other hand, I do believe the tree deserves the extra life that you're going to give him. By few more ornaments and call it macaroni.

I think every family has one of those ornaments that everybody fights over. Oh my! And here I thought it was only us.
