Merry Un-Christmas!

December 26th might be my least favorite day of the year. I mean... it's over! Today is the day you find out 3/4 of the stuff you got doesn't fit... as of today you are the farthest away from next Christmas day as you can get... today is the day you realize the "fantasy" is over and it's time to step back into your reality... what's to like about it?

As a Christian, I'm supposed to say that every day is a gift... every day has a purpose... every day is your chance to make it count. I definitely believe all that, but today still sucks. And as I type this it is 41 and raining in Buffalo... SINCE WHEN? I come up here for the snow! Well, and family. I don't mean to be Negative Nathaniel, but I have to be true to my feelings, right? I think it's cathartic for me to get it "on paper." I think it's healthy to know I have a sounding board here with the 3 of you that will read this, right Mom?

So, what are your thoughts? Are you on the negative side of the fence with me on this one? Or are you the eternal optimist? "Hey, you get 365 days to look forward to this again!" Whatever.

  1. #1-What the heck were you doing up at 5:48 am the morning after Christmas? Or had you not been to bed yet?
    #2-I don't 'love' the day after Christmas...but for different reasons. It's like a timer went off in my brain and all of a sudden, the decorations that I was in love with yesterday, I hate with a burning passion and want to rip them down...NOW!
    #3-I'm usually depressed that day because I have eaten enough to feed a small army and feel slightly 'bloated'.
