It's not unusual for me to be off about holidays. We don't have the best relationship. But, over the last few years the whole world seems to have gone off of them as well. There's hardly anything at Walmart or in town telling you it's the holidays; few (if any) decorations, no music, few specialized gifts, no Salvation Army bell ringers, etc...
The number of TV holiday specials has dwindled. Then channels that look like their showing stuff, it's just a few things on loop. Normally, I can get lost in the twinkling lights. Not this year. Only 1 other house besides us is consistently doing any lights & both are very minimal. Even the homes that have lights up aren't turning the on.
What little holiday spirit I can usually muster with the lights, music & specials isn't here this year. Except this time, it's no me. It seems like everyone has bailed on things this year. I'm sure they have their reasons, but still I miss the lights.
Apparently the Grinch succeeded after all.
Cya...
