Writing Prompt — Decorations

What holiday does your character celebrate? And how does she decorate for the holiday? Write a scene in which your character chooses, unpacks, or hangs decorations. Does she do this alone or does she have help? Is she the more enthusiastic party, or is someone forcing her to participate in the decorating? Do the decorations remind her of a past time, or excite her for an upcoming celebration?  If the holidays don't fall into the time frame of your story, pick another holiday. Perhaps something less celebrated like Arbor Day. Create a fun decoration idea, and explore how you can reveal your character or move the plot forward through the scene.
