Well, it's Christmas & New Year's is next week. So far it's gone as well as it usually does for us. We'll have dinner later & that'll be about the end of it. The decorations will stay up for a while, at least until the new year.
I never have high expectations for the holiday season, but this time has seemed pretty flat. There were so few lights & so much humbug & dread. It's strange how let down you can feel about something you really weren't into all that much. It's just a big game of anticipation followed by a crash of bright lights, noise & shredded paper. Then like that, it's over. Holidays aren't like sex or pizza. If you had so-so or even bad sex or pizza, you still at least had sex or pizza. Off or bad holidays are unfulfilling let downs, that leave marks, questions & hollow feelings.
I hope for everyone else, the holidays were grand. For me, I'm just ready for them to move on & not have to think about them for another year. It's bad enough when I'm not good with holidays, but when everyone else jumps on board, that's a little much.
Take care & may the rest of the year be kind to you.
Cya...
