Merry Merry, why you buggin'
The holiday season is upon us (me) like a ton of bricks. I have always used the fact that because I worked in retail for the reason I didn't join in the Christmas madness. You work in it all day long, sometimes your job depends on your performance at work during the holidays. I remember when I was a district manager, and had to travel to stores all over the glorious Midwest, nothing says Christmas joy, like flying to Detroit in the middle of a snow storm to beat up a staff for not selling enough
"things for, or inspired for the garden".
But this year working with kids one would think that I would love the season with those smiling happy faces, expectant of what Santa will bring.I should be decking the halls, singing carols, wearing Santa hats. But no, still the same grinch I have always been. I guess there aren't kids in my family really, my brother and his kids are in Australia (bitches I hate them) and my other nephew is just plain weird. But is that really an excuse. There are plenty of adults that love this time of year. They go all out. I just think it would be pretty said, decking these halls with my socks in the living room and a full ashtray on the coffee table.
I always think I'm going to at least send out some cards, make an effort and put some thought into the few gifts that I do buy. But nope. Christmas carols actually put me in a bad mood around Christmas time. I usually get the Christmas spirit in July, I will belt out carols in the shower on the hottest day in the summer.

Here, here. R and I are thinking of making December 28th "It's ok to be sad" day.
This year, I decided that I hate Christmas. I send out cards, which I like doing, but that's really the only part I like. Everything else is a hassle. I hate buying gifts for family I hardly know. I hate dealing with airports over Christmas--they're bad enough any other time. I hate feeling like I should have parties & dinners to go to.
Thanksgiving is fine....over indulging. That I can do. I'll even make the food. But Christmas, that just plain sucks.
