so i get that we are in a recession. people are losing their jobs. buckling down. saving money. but why does that mean that everyone has to be so bah humbug about the holidays this year? I was driving around the suburbs (!) yesterday evening and only saw 2 houses with christmas lights up. The suburbs! C'mon people! It all feels like some sad holiday movie where a bad man stole christmas, but not in a quirky way like the nightmare before christmas, but in a sad way where we all just sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. We need to ring a bell to give an angel his wings, sing carols at the top of our lungs to convince santa we DO believe and we need little Susie to give the grinch a heart! Okay maybe that's dramatic. But I wish there were more positive news in America to give us all inspiration. Dear America, Stop firing people in December!
As for me, I will be putting up a tree this weekend. and wrapping presents! and eating popcorn and drinking hot cocoa! and baking christmas cookies! join me if you can!!!
PS thank you dear job of mine for my lovely bonus today! (explanation for heightened cheer level)
