dented no more...


So, I mentioned that my holiday spirit is a bit dented this year. Mostly it's because the things I look forward to the most are things that didn't occur this year. The family sing-a-long was canceled this year because there were too many busy schedules to try to accommodate. Part of what bummed me out is that I was accidentally left out of the email exchanges. I skipped my school Christmas party for it. I found out when I was driving home and I phoned Dad's to see if I could pick anything up for the night and they said, "why what's tonight?" I was almost in tears when it all sank in. I came home and put on fuzzy pajamas and was about to watch Elf to cheer myself up, when my friend phoned me from knit night to ask if I was coming. So I got re-dressed and went to knit night and cheered up somewhat. I was still looking forward to Dad's annual Sunday-before-Christmas concert. That was canceled because of the storm. *muttergrumble* So my holiday spirit has taken a beating and it slightly dented.

Getting the packages mailed, the rest of the gifts organized, and spending time with my bestie today has re rejuvenated my spirit.

I don't have the Christmas spirit this year either. I only send out two Christmas cards and the family is not getting together for Christmas this year. My nephews are all at their in-laws, so I invited myself to my niece's for Christmas.
