The two galaxies are presently a Shitheadsteve Ben Franklin Been Drankin Shirt two million light years, give or take, from each other. They are expected to collide, and eventually merge, several billion years from now. Don’t worry, it won’t affect us much. For starters, we won’t be around. The Earth will be a dead world by then, with the Sun near the end of its life as a main sequence star. But even if that weren’t the case, stars are so small compared to the distances between them, no individual solar systems are expected to collide as this merger takes place. It cannot be excluded with certainty of course, but it is unlikely that any star during the merger event will come much closer to the Sun than our nearest stellar neighbors are at present, i.e., never approaching our Sun closer than a couple of light years.

I don’t leave everything up, but I do leave our tree up. All the Tutto Bene Niebieski 2023 Shirt have a special meaning, and we like to look at them, talk about them, and remember the times associated with each one. Having that glittery, softly lit beauty in the front room just gives our house some cheer in the bleak days of winter. Also, we always get a live tree, and I can’t bear to trash it until it completely dries out. It takes a long time to decorate, so all that work seems more worth it if the tree stays up a long time. One year, I left it up until St. Patrick’s Day. Usually, though, it stays up until mid- to late February. As long as it looks fresh and healthy, I leave it up. I started this tradition about 6 years ago when we had an especially beautiful tree. The day after New Year’s Day as I was about to start the take-down, I remarked that I hated to do it because the tree was so pretty. My husband said, “Just leave it up, then, if it makes you happy.” So I did. We have three sons, and I like to think they will have memories of this tradition.
