The Way This Husband Decorates His House For Christmas Will Make You Cry Happy Tears

When money is tight, sacrifices must be made, and unfortunately that often means giving up expensive nonessentials. Imgur user heathbickerstaff fully understands this struggle, which is especially difficult during the holidays. When he and his wife couldn't afford a Christmas tree one year, he decorated their barren apartment wall with colorful string lights in the shape of a tree to capture the festive spirit. Three years later, the couple can now afford to purchase a real tree, but they don't want to forget how far they've come. The husband posted the photo above to show how he still decorates his wall this same way as a tribute to his past. The post really resonated with his fellow Imgurians, as many users commented on the thread to express how they are in the same boat with their finances this holiday season. The internet has a lovely way of bringing people together.
