It is the first year that my decorations have come down before New Year's Day. This is a sign of how truly humbug and depressed I have been this holiday season. I tried. I really did. But no matter how much false cheer I tried to spread about, I could not and have not been able to shake the holiday blahs.
I could blame it on the lack of snow. We have had only a few days with some flurries but nothing that has stuck around for long. It was 45 degrees this afternoon. I don't do well when the season doesn't do what it is supposed to do. Yes, I could blame it on the weather but it is much deeper than the non-existent white stuff. It is a culmination of a year that has been too long and emotional.
A year from now, I hope to have a happier account of the Christmas Season. I hope the feelings of inadequacy and loneliness have made their way into the past. I hope I have enough Christmas cheer to keep the decorations up until the New Year. I hope there will be snow.

I wish I could lift your spirits, but I'm lower than a worm's belly myself... I just can't achieve lift. You are so young (37) psh! That should raise your spirits. I'm almost ready for the grave. hahaha Maybe Jan. will bring hope and cheer.
