This
holiday season I was reminded about how much I despise traveling this
time of year. Nothing can move me from jolly to bah humbug like having
to pack up a suitcase and get on a plane. Even if I am only gone for two
days, by the time I return home I find myself devoid of all Christmas
spirit.
We are finally home from visiting Scott's
mother for a few days. I am now completely done with all things holiday
related. I no longer want to look at the twinkle lights on the tree or
the Christmas cookies on my counter. In all honesty, I found myself
becoming frustrated when I saw homes adorned with holiday lights last
night. I had to pause to remind myself that Christmas was only a few
short days ago, even though right now it feels like a lifetime. I plan
on spending the day purging my house of the holiday clutter while
putting this season behind us.
Please don't get me
wrong--we had a wonderful Christmas holiday. Between our trips to
Williamsburg and Pennsylvania, we have fully embraced the magic of the
season. I am completely out of magic and don't particularly want to
invest the energy in mustering more. I am yearning for the normalcy of
our pre-holiday routines. Right now, I just want Santa and all of his
glitter laden friends to go back into their box under my stairs.
Bring on 2015- I'm ready!
