Waaaaaaaaahhhhh! Whimper Whimper. Pout.
Published January 8th, 2007 in Wimston, Work, Christmas, Sad.I don’t wanna go back to regular life. I want to stay in the life with cookies everywhere all the time, a the prettiest tree ever covered in lights that you get to sit next to all day while you work, lights on your house, everybody out of town so you don’t have to do much work for them “until the new year” which is just a hazy time period a few weeks in the future, daniel’s off school, champagne all the time, an overall feeling of excited anticipation and everything is just a little more special. Now it’s just January. It should be cold and gloomy, but instead it’s sunny and warm so instead I have to worry about global warming. I finally took the tree down last night and then I had a school anxiety dream FOR Daniel. Whew. Coming off Christmas is HARD.
We need more holidays.
Only seven more shopping days until Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Whew - I’ve still so much decorating and baking to do! And Groundhog Day’s less than a month away - better get cracking on your greeting cards!
I hate post-Christmas blues, too. I reserve getting into the holiday spirit for December 6thish or so and onward (post St. Nicholas Day), and then - as you know - it’s full on baking. So that means I’m not tired of the holidays come Jan. 2, not like some people who put up their decorations before Halloween.
Except maybe the songs. I’m not wild about Jingle Bells past Dec. 26th.
Worst of all, I think I hate getting back to real work, and leaving behind an excuse to shove baked experiments on people.
