It's like standing under the mistletoe alone...

December 20th, 2009.
Trying to get into the holiday spirit has come with sporadic vibrance for me this year. Still no 'good luck' per se (as discussed in previous posts) and a totally different perspective than previous years. One day I am all about the holidays - feeling all Bing Crosby, Good Deeds and Magic, the next I am truly the Grinch who is disappointed in the human race. I haven't put up my tree due to a lack of space in my new apartment and a combination of recession and being busy has had an affect on my entire family. My Mom took a second job for the holidays and us kids cannot be home for Xmas this year, so my Mom's immaculately decorated home isn't even the same this year. I don't blame her AT ALL - but it changes things. I guess it may be a sign of us all getting older and they way of things to come, but it's definitely difficult to get used to the change. For now I'll just keep on watching my Christmas Movies with hope and looking forward to a cup of holiday cheer with my family on Xmas Eve. Then off to work Xmas day just like any other day.
