I've been on vacation, so I have been neglecting my blog. :( For my few faithful readers, I apologize...
Christmas is over. The tree is down and the ornaments put away. No more 24 hour Christmas tunes on 94.1, no more packages left to be opened, no more Christmas snacks or egg nog (blech!). All that's left of Christmas are the long lines for returns and the huge markdowns on all of the holiday decor.
It's funny really...just two days ago everyone was in the Christmas spirit, being polite, joyfully giving lots of money to charities or toys to children in need and allowing people to pull out in front of them into Christmas traffic with a smile on their face. But once December 26th starts, people get mean again. Suddenly the shoppers become aware that they have had to wait in a 2 hour long return line and they start to get fussy. Cars don't allow other cars to pull out in front of them to get into the flow of traffic--and if someone tries it, the other car nudges up to be sure the other car can't get in, then curses them as they give them the finger and speed away. Everyone starts to realize that holiday eating is over and that they need to start working out to fit into the new pants they got as a gift...what motivation.
Yeah, Christmas is over, definately over...and with it went the nice, friendly people that tend to show up one month out of the year. Kind of leaves me with a feeling of emptiness and sadness--but not for long because I realize that its only 11 more months until the jovial, giving people return. Three-hundred and sixty three days until Christmas. :)
