Anyone else fighting the "holiday blues"? I've exhausted retail therapy, though that was actually pretty effective while it lasted, and I'm clinging to the remains and the wrapping from that project. I'm extremely grateful to have the means to enjoy the gift purchasing part instead of every tiny thing being a source of anxiety and stress. So that part is all just fine and jolly enough, I suppose. I cannot manage to get any decorating done, though. It's so overwhelming! The mess, the effort, the exhaustion, the pain, then to have to put it all away again... it's just too much. In my gift wrapping today I did box up the pj's for Christmas Eve and put them on the empty mantle over the fireplace so that's something. Then Kate came across the stocking and put them on their hooks there too. But that's it so far. The cold (even though it has been so unusually balmy so far here) and the dark are swallowing me whole, if not quite feeling 'alive'. I can't wait for it to be officially winter so the days will start to lengthen again! In the mean time, at least we have the stockings up and a couple of packages on the mantle. That's as good as a tree, right? *sigh* via Facebook
