i am feeling a distinct lack of christmas cheer this year. i'm not hating christmas or wishing it were over, i just can't find it in me to do anything about it. the house isn't decorated at all. as in, we don't have a tree, didn't put up any decorations. we didn't even pull the christmas tubs (we have 6 totes dedicated to christmas decor, and one dedicated to christmas ornaments). i made an advent list, but so far we haven't done any of the activities listed.
i haven't gone fully to the dark side; we sent out christmas cards and delivered christmas goodies to some friends/co-workers/loved ones, and the christmas shopping has been done since the beginning of november. so christmas is happening. just not with the usual cheer and 5-year-old enthusiasm i usually exhibit around the holidays.
we head up to the hometown next week, so maybe the christmas decor at the homestead and the christmas traditions there will kick me into the spirit of things. because thus far, nothing else seems to be working.
