decompressing



i'll be honest, i've had a bit of a hard time getting into the holiday spirit this year. this nasty flu-turned-cold hasn't been helping, but i'm hoping this general holiday slump goes away. i LOVE christmas. i LOVE snow. and i LOVE winter. maybe i wasn't strict enough with my "no christmas music until after thanksgiving" rule. maybe i need to get control of our out of control, messy house. maybe i just need to slow down and spend time with the guests that are about to visit (yay!). or maybe i just need to really do myself in with calorie overload and make these homemade peanut butter cups, use the trimmings from our tree to make some fresh wreaths, and put on some good holiday music. yeah, that sounds good.

  2. I know! I am so not in the spirit yet. I'm hoping that the tree tomorrow will help. And I've been playing very little music. I need to crank it up a notch! I hope you're very merry soon, and that you get better soon!

  6. This has been a hard Christmas season for me to get into the spirit of as well. I keep thinking it has been because it hasn't been cold long enough (even though I dread the cold). Since your sale is finished, once your work is shipped and the peanut cups made, that hopefully will help as you settle in with your company. :)

  7. i'm not in the spirit yet either. i think our two week trip in november threw me off. maybe some years are better than others? last year our apt was oozing christmas. this year nothing..and i find myself shocked that it's mid-dec already. heck yes to peanut butter + chocolate though!
