Well, I can’t procrastinate writing this post anymore, or I’ll miss the timeframe in which it’s pertinent. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, or Pleasant Holidays, or whatever wording suits you and your beliefs (or lack thereof). While I believe I’ll be blogging some more before the new year, just in case I don’t, Happy New Year, too.
This year’s Christmas season has been a bit odd for me. Usually I enjoy the season, even if the religious aspect of it doesn’t do much for me. This year has been a bit “blah”; I’m just not really in the mood for it all. I’d say that the major reason for this is that December 17th was the 1 year mark for my father’s death in 2005. He died after 7 months on hospice, 7 extremely difficult months, both for him and the family. It being around the 1 year mark for his death doesn’t really have me depressed, really; it’s not like I’ve been sitting around crying. I’m just kind of apathetic about this year’s Christmas season. Honestly, I’ll be a bit glad when it’s over. Perhaps next year will be better.
Anyway – this was supposed to be a happy post, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, etc., so I’ll wrap it up here. Have happy holidays and be safe if you’re travelling.
All I can say, my friend, is make the best of the time spent with family and friends. It’s the ideal time of year for get togethers and sharing stories and good times.
If you have some time off, rest easy, you deserve it.
Yeah, we’re having our family get together soon. That’s the one thing I’m actually looking forward to.
