OK, so we have landed official in the Season of Giving…I can’t find the seasonal spirit within me. I thought about as I took my steaming hot shower which usually helps me unwind and find perspective. What I found is that I am really not in the Holiday Spirit. Not even the knowledge that my shopping is 95% done and all I have to do know is decorate and enjoy my girls.
The Holiday Spirit is just not what it once used to be to me at all. I used to be this Christmas and New Year Freak. I just enjoyed it having family, friends around to just sit and enjoy reminiscing with those closest to me. Over the past years a lot have change family’s relocate, I have lost touch with friends and a few family members and I am no longer in the same place regional and emotionally.
I think this is the major part that my Holiday Spirit has gone missing. Friends and family are extremely important to me and the major part of gatherings in my opinion. The fact that they are slowly disappearing from my life scares me just a bit. I maybe a tough as nails chick with this front of not needing anyone but when it comes down to it. I love having a few close people that I can count on to be there for my girls. There are a few and perhaps this year I will pack us up all in the truck and head out and enjoy the spirit of family this holiday.
Am I up to decorating at this time…Not a bit interested at all! I have decided this year will be the 12 days of Christmas in my household. Decorations will go up 12 days before which gives my time to prepare and hopeful catch a few discounts. Plus it gives me time to just clear up some of the cluttered accumulated during the year. A nice clean slate for the New Year hopefully by that time my Holiday Spirit will have been found in my mess of a closet perhaps.
