Well I got my shopping done today. Last minute as usual. This year seems so different, Christmas really snuck up on me. I usually go look around the mall but never really buy anything till the last minute. This year I didn't even pretend to shop till last night and that was only because I went to Wal-Mart with my mom.Its just been a strange holiday season. A lot of people are in a funk. I'm kinda in between moods right now. I decorated and put up a Christmas Tree, which is a big thing. I usually just bring out a small 8" tree my mom made years ago and glued decorations on it. Its not even a real artificial tree. Even though I practically waited till the last minute I am going to spend more money this year than I usually do. It may not seem like that much at the moment, but we also have a Christmas in February when my sisters come home.
I am definitely looking forward to the new year. I know a lot of people that are. The first half of the year was a lot like last year, it sucked ass. The second half of the year was not nearly as bad, but it was just kinda BLAH. Everyone is in a blue funk. I am just ready for the holidays to be over with and life to get back to normal.
I feel like Dr. Grinch & Mr. Clause. :)

I completely understand the BLAH. I feel that way too this year. No Christmas spirit. Heck, if the kids hadn't put up the tree and decorated it, I probably would not have cared. I too am waiting for this holiday to be over and a new year to start. I'm hoping for a year of new beginnings and an end to the same crap different day routine. I hope that your holiday is happy and bright and that all your Christmas wishes come true.
Hopefully our Christmas in February will be better. I know I enjoyed Christmas this year, but I understand the funk too. I put up my tree early, but never finished decorating it. I baked last minute, but I shopped and wrapped early. Guess I found a little balance. I missed Dad like crazy this year. I think more than last year because it was still too raw then. I don't know if that'll be good or bad when we have our big Christmas BBQ this February!!!
