I think I need an injection. Yep, some kind of shot is due. And I don't mean the occasional B12 that keeps me level. Or some Schnapps with Nicole. This calls for serious assistance.
I simply am not in the holiday spirit. Mini rant-why do we call it the "Holiday's?" We celebrate November 22 and then muddle along or freak out-you pick-until December 24. Seems there is room for one more 'holiday' between those two days. May I suggest one that doesn't include tons of extra effort coupled with feelings of inferiority?
Neighbors have their yard lights out and I see decorated Christmas trees in some windows. I still have my autumn wreath on my front door and my tree is still in the basement.
I have to admit that the Sunday temps were a welcome respite, but that sunny day was just a tease. It may as well snow because that's our December reality.
Last week we received our first Christmas card. I have not yet purchased much less signed and sent out mine yet. I still have time, right?
My Pinterest and YouTube is rife with holiday decorating ideas. I used to totally over decorate making my house like a mini-Bronners. Now, the tree and a Christmas Starbucks mug seem enough.
I've noticed that the malls are packed. The shopping frenzy has begun-with out me. I hate Christmas shopping-the pressure is too much. I'm far too impatient to park a mile away and stand in line for more than 2 minutes. I'll just donate as usual.
Now, here's a little positivity. I am looking forward to some holiday parties, tasty treats and I DO sing along with the Christmas carols. That's all I got.
Any advice? Are you 'feelin' it? Let me know if you have any ideas for me.
Have a wonderful week. OXOXO

The Holidays always bring me back to one nagging issue: What is it that I've done that my own flesh and blood would ignore me for seven years now? What can Xmas do for me? Answer: Make me count each year as I wait for that one special moment. I might as well wait for Santa.
J.R. Stop taking the blame for a choice that was never yours! You did nothing wrong and only time will illustrate that. It's a loss, tho and for that, I feel your pain. Take care, my friend. xo
