I love christmas day. I do. It’s just that every year I seem to have more trouble getting through the build up to christmas day. The stress just gets out of control and it feels more and more difficult to not just chuck the whole idea in favor of Chinese food and Star Trek reruns. (A Jewish acquaintance from my college days celebrated in that fashion every year.)
Today is January 2nd. Christmas is over. New Years Day has come and gone.
It’s time to start packing up the decorations again.
It should be a sad time, but it’s more like a relief. We made it through once again. Of course, I don’t want to put everything away, but that’s more down to my laziness than lingering holiday spirit.
HoHoHo, until next year.
