Christmastime Is Done, Right?
•   thoughts i had   •   viewed 553 times •  2 years ago

And so I was chatting online with a good friend tonight about how I was trying to enjoy my holiday decor, you know.. post holiday, now that I have time. I have been having a really hard time with that! It all made perfect sense when he pointed out that every time I looked at it now that we are past Christmas, it just reminds me that I have to take it down. Shit. You know what?

He’s totally right. It is making me go a little crazy.

I have to take all that shit down. Heh. That tree has easily 2 times as many ornaments as last time. Not only that, but we like these ones, and they are fragile! They have to be packed carefully and junk. By me. Richard has to work.. Again. Although last year my state of mind was a bit different, the pressure is still there. I just wish I had the same adrenaline! Okay, not really. But I have decided that tomorrow is the big day. As nice as it sounded, leaving it up for an extra week for some party, the fact remains that time gets limited again, and I don’t want this chore to do on one of my only 2 days off! Right? So it has to be done. Before the New Year. Tomorrow.

I have to get pumped. I have to get in the right state of mind. Hell, I want help!! Anyone? I’ll serve cocktails.... wink

My mother would barely wait until all the presents were open before she was taking down decorations. I’m the same way.
