Strange December
•   thoughts i had   •   viewed 686 times •  2 years, 1 month ago

I am at a loss here. Something is up with me. I have been thinking about it for a few days too. Usually in December I get depressed and angry. I resent my job and write bitchy things about selfish people shopping on my blog. Right? Remember last year? Well this year feels different so far. I don’t know why. (Well I was kinda upset when my blog broke, but that was different. Totally isolated.)

There are a few positives… I am digging my holiday decor in the house. It’s only the second year in a row where we have put up a tree and all that. We had boycotted for a number of years. This year I really like it! Another odd difference this year is that work hasn’t been bad at all. Actually, aside from the extended work hours junk it has been fun! I think we have put and continue to put in a higher level of planning. That combined with the larger investment of time has made it pretty smooth so far. Nice!

I also just kinda feel festive. I keep waiting for the crash, for my mood to really sour but it hasn’t. I have holiday music playing for a bit each day. When I get home I hurry to turn on the tree. I don’t even care that I desperately need a haircut!

Weird.

I also think I am gonna leave the decorations up for an extra week and throw a post holiday party. Well, not a party as much as a open house where people can cruise in and out as they go about their day. No pressure of carving out time for a party for the guests, and no pressure of a full house all at once for us. Heh.

See, this behavior is unlike me. December is strange this year.

You should feel festive - glad to hear things are good for you this year. Also, the post holiday party sounds like so much fun!

This is a boycott year for me!  I admire you for doing it up big time!  I am sitting here listening to “This American Live: A Very Special David Sedaris Christmas” which I delightedly found on I-Tunes last night while filling my Nano with seasonal Music.

for the first time in 3 years (since i lost my dad), i am feeling particularly festive too. i have done up the house, inside and out, am sending out more than 2 or 3 cards, and all the lights go on and candles are lit as soon as i get home.
i think this year i will be sad to see the decorations go.

Weird.  I feel really festive this year too.  I think it might be because I’m not traveling at all.  Who knows?  But I’m going with the flow.  It’s Christmas time.  Woo hoo!
