Is it just me, or is that feeling of having to face a holiday-less world somewhat of a scary and lonely feeling? Even though everything is the same, nothing is the matter, and all is well, when that feeling that you've relied so heavily on over the past few months is suddenly gone, does anyone get a little bit scared to go back to life without it? Does the thought of coming home from work in the evening now seem a bit dreary, even though your routine is exactly the same and you're not doing anything differently than you were while it was the holidays? I know we've discussed the panic or dread feeling of the holidays being gone, so its definitely along those lines. But I don't know, I can't help but feel a bit scared this time of year at the prospect of not having the holidays here. It just feels so right when it's here that it makes it seem so empty when it's not. And granted, I do get over it, there's always that point where I'm able to just shrug it off no big deal. But I can't help but get like this every year during the first week of January. I guess I'm just finally hit with the post Christmas blues now.
And trust me, I can't count my blessings enough that this is even a concern for me. I know there's bigger issues in this world to fret about.
I guess they took advantage of the long weekend and the mild weather to take them down. I miss them already. But I can close my eyes and see them in my memory. And I still have my lovely trees.
have missed yall terribly. Couldn't remember my old account so I did a new 1. I'm from S.C., wife, Mama, & a Christmas fanatic! Will be so happy to be home with yall again.
