Postpone Christmas…

I’m just not ready for it to be Christmas yet. I’ve been draggin my feet because I think I might be able to postpone it, but I should know better, dragging my feet just lets me get caught unprepared. Here are some of my reasons for wanting to postpone Christmas:

1. It’s stinking 80 degrees outside. I don’t want to listen to songs about a white Christmas when I don’t even have good rainy weather.

2. This will be the second Christmas with my little brother out of the picture. I miss him so much, I think the greatest gift this year would to be able to see him and have him home for a little while.

3. I’m not ready for another year of my life to have gone by. It just seems too fast. My birthday is the day after Christmas and it really does mark the years of my life. I feel like this year has flown by….

But Christmas is coming whether I am ready for it or not…at least I already have the tree up (I’ll put pictures up soon) and my spirits will start to brighten as the presents and cookies roll in (I LOVE PRESENTS!) Just can’t wait for a really good day of rain, and to see my brother this May, I guess I don’t care about the birthday thing so much…I will be only 22 (where were you in ’84?).

What favorite Christmas memory of yours will help me get out of my December Funk?

    Where was I in 84? In the labor room getting gowned while listening to a nurse scream “I need a doctor NOW!” as my even then impatient daughter insisted on doing things “her way.” It’s been a great journey these last 22 years.

    P.S. I miss Jonathan too 😦

    1984… I was nine years old. Moved from San Jose to Santa Cruz. New home, new school. Good memories from that year though.

    I am loving Christmas this year, maybe because I have no pressures, other than what I put on myself….(ightbulb above head)…..(after finals) take some time to smell a pine wreath at Home Depot, or if you have a real tree, just sit there, and drink in the smell and serenity with a sweet Christmas song (turn on the air conditioning)…1984…I had an almost 4 yr old and an 8 mo old and we were having our first Christmas in Riverside .
