Last year was just so different. I am really lucky, or as I believe it, blessed, to have went 40 YEARS with never having anything happen "bad" on Christmas. I think because of those circumstances, it kind of hit me about mid-day, that Christmas was "over". Because of the circumstances, there was no denying it. Between that and the very strong feelings, almost a "calling", that I have to put Christmas on my shoulders now for my wife and my two children, it made it easy to digest, and at least so far, I have had no PCB's.
January has been busy so far, 1st with me getting ready to buy a new vehicle, a Jeep Wrangler, and next Thursday finding out if Holly has to have surgery or not, those kind of thoughts / actions are going to power me through January. We will see how I feel after taking the lights down, but i really am feeling good right now, all things considered.
