Christmas is starting to feel like a fully-loaded freight train. And I'm zip-tied to the tracks. It's coming and I'm not ready. Really. Not. Ready.
I've done no shopping. I've sent no cards. I have no decorations up and I'm dreading digging out the tree. Unruly has been begging to get the tree up and decorated but I just haven't been able to do it. If it was just me and Hubby, I'd skip it this year. I can't even convince myself to bake any holiday cookies and that's usually the one thing I really look forward to. A long, sweet day of baking while the cold wind howls outside and we sip hot chocolate and steal raw dough from the bowl in a nice, cozy, vanilla-scented kitchen.
I'm already over-holiday'd. Since Christmas crap has been out since, ummm, October, I'm already sick of it. I've been sick of it since before Thanksgiving.
Of course the hip-deep mud and 50-degree temperatures are not helping my Christmas spirit one bit.

WHY???? That is what I want to know. I'm as bad as you are..so is my husband. Why are more people non-holidayish this year?
:-(
poop
bah humbug
I'm with ya, too. I had a variety reasons to not be into it this year but fortunately we have no one coming and no commitments for xmas, so that is GREAT! Low key!
Ok Scrooges, do I need to come over there and whack you all with a giant candy cane???
Seriously though I understand. It's easy to get overwhelmed during the holidays. Here's hoping you find your Christmas spirit.
Last Christmas was special with your entire 'clan' invading. This one will be celebrated with quite a few less. More peaceful.
You know what? The idea that you 'have' to be happy or whatever at this - or any - time of the year is absurd.
So you don't feel it. So what. It'll come or not. It's just one day in your life, after all.
