It is Christmas Eve and I am ok to say that I am pretty sure that I am done shopping. If I have forgotten anybody they will have to accept my apologies because I am just done fighting crowds. This year I am the grinch and people and shopping are just not my friends this year. I am tired of standing in lines, hearing kids screaming and for the first time ever I think even Christmas music. I just want KSGN and 103.5 back without hearing jingle bells or hearing how Santa is making a list and checkin it twice...go ahead Santa, I don't care!
Usually I enjoy shopping and wrapping and baking but this year it seems like it has been forced. I thought it was just me with all the crazy that has gone on in my life this year but I have heard so many others say that it just came too fast and no on eis really in the mood...ecept those retailers! While I was in line at Walmart I started to see signs of Valentine's day and Christmas and New Year's decor was all a thing of the past and already on clearance. What the heck? I mean I guess I can understand about Christmas but let's get through New Year's before we talk about Valentine's day...seriously!
I have things left to bake, presents left to wrap and classic movies to watch on TV. I am staying at home and not going to that side of the familes house, though I am sure I won't be missed as usually the only question they are concerned about asking me is...ARE YOU WORKING? Really, when have I not? Perhaps I will go to my side of the family later on and celebrate all that is to come in the new year...whatever it may be.
Tomorrow the kids will open their presents and we will all go our separate ways once again. If Santa comes down my chimney tonight he will wake me up now because since last year the front room has been converted to my own little suite...yes, things are very different this year.
But I know that for a lot of people this is a happy time and so as to not depress you all too much I would just like to say Merry Christmas. I hope that you all have a wonderful time with all of your families and friends and will make memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you all for another year of being in my life either in person or on my beloved facebook. May 2012 bring all that you are hoping for as I am hoping it will do the same for me.
