Every November I "gear" up for the Holidays! I figure how I am going to decorate my house inside and out. I try to change things up every 2 years or so to keep things fresh.
Each Christmas I anticipate amazing things happening around the holidays. I don't know exactly why I do, but there it is? The Christmas Shows on Lifetime and Hallmark channel, suck you into other peoples turmoil and then boost your happiness when they find love again. That always puts me into the Christmas spirit and builds my excitement.
The decorating, which I find fun and other people see as a chore, becomes the stage for my dramatic play and the sappy Christmas songs enhance the scene- I roll around in all the Christmas joy. The Christmas Parties is where the story will begin and my sparkly outfit will attract the attention of some amazing man who will join me on my next adventure. I can't get enough, I am bursting with anticipation.
In a blur, December screams by! I always have a very enjoyable time, I think. I get to see all my friends here in Colorado and in Minnesota. I spend quality time with the family.
But in my holiday dream, I land on my feet and realize nothing ever really changes. The parties were fun, my friends are still great and interesting, I always get wonderful gifts. But I don't get the "remember the Christmas of 2010, that was a doosey".
I am sure many people would like it that way, the grass is always greener philosophy. But for me, something interesting, off the normal trek, would be awesome. I love surprises but that rarely happens. The good news is that I never loose that enthusiasm for what might come!
After all the craziness of December, Jan hits and I am left with no parties and working out only- seriously, no wonder I and many other people are depressed. We might have to change that!
