During December, I really enjoyed evening walks. All the pretty lights glowing from inside everyone's home and the beautiful decorations & lights adorning the outside of so many houses. Now... it is so dark and gloomy looking. Every once in awhile, a light or two pops up to bring a smile to my face. I always find January so depressing. I get up in the dark, I come home from work in the dark. That is why I leave my tree up so long. It is so the rest of my family does not have to endure the wrath of my depression. You see, I only do it for them. Once again showing what a self less person I am, always thinking of others.
I had a call from a little 3 year old friend yesterday. He just left a message on voice mail. His "bah humbug" father was encourging him in the background to say "Christmas is over Donna". Well I have news for him. I will be spending 7 days with his four, impressionable children in the very near future, and you would be amazed how quickly I can erase that humbug brain washing. Special treats and small gifts help as well.
I may even convince them to push their parents for a Christmas in July celebration. They are four in number and the parents are only two.
You would think that John would learn.... don't mess with Donna & Christmas.

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteHope that you are feeling better. The days are getting longer and we have passed the halfway mark of this month.
I like your "humbug brain washing" story. Write it up and enter it in the Postcard or Annual Ultra-Short Contests. See the Writers Ink website for more details.
