Hello again my Wildlings.
I have left you alone for far too long. Unfair of me I know. But I did say I wanted to keep this place free of a lot of “woe is me” and I manged to start writing here at the very start of “woe is me” season.
See, when it comes to the holidays, I turn into a bit of a Grinch. Just a bit. I mean, I’m not a fan of the season for many, many reasons, but I don’t go out of my way to ruin it for other people.
My family seems to be largely amused by my distaste for the HoHoHolidays. They do things like play Christmas music, watch Christmas movies, and put Christmas decorations in my bedroom and on my desk. All of this starting November 1st. Before I’ve even shaken the dust of Halloween off of myself.
The fact that exposure to each of those things will make my eyes start twitching every single time just makes them that much more amused.
I let them have their fun, though I don’t partake in much of it. I let them decorate the house, and the tree, and the yard and enjoy themselves for the most of 2 months.
I enjoy it starting whenever I get home from work on Dec. 24, until I have to go back to work on the 26th.
I’m trying, ever so hard, to actually ENJOY the season of JOY this year. Emotionally and mentally it is hard. My (retail) job makes it harder.
But I did get myself a tiny little tabletop tree this year. And decorated it minimally (not counting the Zombie Merle that my husband put on there.) I’ll take pictures at some point this month to share with you.
See, I’m going to try to do a December Daily/Blogmas thing this month. Though I’m not promising a post every day, and I’m not promising them all to be Christmas or holiday related. I have mental limits, and some day just surviving my job extends past them.
But, while planning I have to ask, Is there anything you’d like to see me blog about this December?
