Christmas Spirit

I seem to be lacking it this year.  I have no decorations up and the tree is still taking up residence in the garage.  It may have to do with me not having the kids this week so I don't have to pretend to enjoy the commercialism.  It may have to do with the job change.  It may have to do with the fact that Christmas is literally shoved down M's throat all day at his work and my unwillingness to do that at home.  It may have to do with the anniversary of M's Mom's passing.  It may have to do with the sullen teenager and how she's affecting me and my attitude.  *shrugs*  I dunno...

meh...  *trudges out to the garage to get the Christmas boxes out anyway*

    You see we looked at each other one Christmas and said fuck it, and never did it again. It was very... freeing :D

    i was like that last year...this year i was much more in the jingle bell spirit...

    what i'm struggling with right now is time. Where the hell did it all go? I gotta make a shitload of cookies (now, that sounds appetizing, doesn't it?? LOL) and my time bank is low. Took son on a date to his g/f school last night, didn't get home until after 10 (i'm not a night owl)...and then the wind started howling here which wakes me up a dozen times...

    and whine whine whine.

    i did get two ideas for stories tho...

    always a silver lining. who needs cookies anyway? LOL

    I find that holidays develop a certain...Angst? When you associate the season with loved ones who are gone. So I vote for the importance of birthdays. Though of course, the same angst bites me in the ass with them.

    I'll decorate our tree, then I'll try to post something humorous when the kittens topple it down and everything goes flying.
    See? Optimism. Ahem.

    You know one is starting to realise that there are some advantages to never remembering special days :D

    @nilla, cookies are bad for our perpetual diet..

    @lil - angst? Optimism? Well, the kitten part is optimistic, even funny as hell if you look at it right, just don't put the good ornaments on the tree this year.

    mp - That does it, we WERE seperated at birth.
