Having said that i will admit that yes, i listen to Christmas music early. i try not to do it within ear shot of anyone who it might offend, but it makes me happy so i do it. But i have not touched my Christmas decorations. i see all of these pictures on Facebook of people who already have their trees up and the houses are decorated. If that works for them, that's totally great, but it's not for me. Growing up, the decorations did not come out til December...something i've stuck to all of these years....just my tradition i guess.
Well, since Thanksgiving comes so late this year and the Christmas rush will begin almost as soon as i head back to work after turkey day, i've decided there really is no point in decorating our house. Yes, that makes me sad, but oh well. There is no point in stressing myself out over where to put each heirloom decoration when no one will enjoy it but me...it's just too much to deal with this year.
Like everything in my house, i can pretty much tell you the history of all of my Christmas decorations. My favorites being my Jesse Tree ornaments and the collection of ceramic Santa Clauses that my Grandmother made me. However there just isn't time for it this year. i may regret the decision, but oh well, it's been made. Now i just need to get a storage unit for all of it haha
Same goes for my birthday. Sadly, it comes at the beginning of holiday hell at work and there really is no use in trying to celebrate. Last year's festivities were last minute and kind of a bust for the most part, so again i do not want to stress myself out over it. Yes, birthdays are important, but i have such a hard time remembering other people's birthdays that it's ridiculous. And i've had to turn down so many birthday celebration invites that i don't feel it's right to ask people to celebrate mine. And i'm so socially out of touch as a host, haven't had a group of my own friends over since NYE LOL
Oh well. i will find a way to keep Christmas in my heart this year....decorated or not
