It's so funny. I can't imagine how someone would react if they knew I was still basically in full Christmas mode right now. It's morning, I'm about to get ready to go to work, and here I am listening to the last bits of Sounds of the Season Holiday, drinking my coffee, and just reminiscing at the fact that exactly two weeks ago it was Christmas morning. Last night I went through a lot of my DVR recordings from December and sort of watched a medley of some of my favorite scenes and music in various Christmas movies. And as I go into work a little bit later I'm sure Christmas is about the last thing on everyone's mind, yet here I am about to walk in there and in my own head and home I've just finished a very active Christmas celebration. And not a single person would be the wiser. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I care in the least what others think, that's not the point of this post, it's just crazy to me to think how you never really truly know what's going on in someone else's mind.
This first week or two of January is still so close to it having recently been the holidays that I just can't quite get it out of my head. I'm in that nostalgic state where I try to remember exactly what I was doing at various points during the season and try to somewhat recreate those moments in my home, if only briefly, to remember what it was like throughout December.
It's so funny when you're having a conversation with someone and you refer to something about "The Holidays", but in your mind what you're referring to is something in Sept, Oct, early Nov, or even early January for that matter, and you get that semi confused look from the person you're talking to as they're not quite sure why you mentioned the holidays. Sometimes I'll take the time to explain, sometimes I won't. Or like even with friends or something during those times I mentioned, sometimes I'll want to stay in and do my own thing, reason being that it's, of course, "The Holidays", but in most people's minds it totally isn't, so I kind of have to come up with a different excuse as to why I can't go out.
