....even though, the truth is, I'm still kind of missing it. I'll put on Buddy's Theme from Elf, a very good short little melody, that takes me right back to specific moments from the season.
I don't know, I guess I'm missing having so recently been missing it. You know what I mean? It's a process, where you miss it at first, then you start to miss being in that period of missing it. So you try to put yourself back to it all, if only for a few fleeting moments during the day.
And then beyond that, at some point, you then begin missing, or maybe wishing you could still miss, having recently missed that you were once really truly missing it.
I'm not drunk, I swear. About to go to work actually. But I threw on that tune I mentioned and it just brought a tad bit of sadness once more that the season is gone.
I saw a snowman still on somebody's front steps yesterday! And a business with those flag banners hanging from the roof that still had two Christmas ones up, a Santa one and another one with a Christmas village setting. And on my day off on Wednesday I went to the mall and saw that they made like a little collage type thing of Christmas gift cards that were sold recently (but I guess went unsold) and placed it on top of the gift card kiosk (you know the type of kiosk where you can buy a gift card for a bunch of different places). So there's still signs if you keep looking!
