Ho Ho Ho.... Humbug

Ho Ho Ho.... Humbug

So I was listening to my normal radio station the other day, which happens to be Canadian. The morning show ended, with the broadcasters announcing that due to popular request..... Christmas songs are now commencing!

My heart sank.

Don't get me wrong. I am a Christmas person. Or, I used to be... Christmas was my absolute favorite holiday. But as the years have gone on, the commercialism has started to grate on me. Especially the way the season has gotten longer and longer. Granted, other factors have worked to humbuggify me... and while those factors have mostly resolved themselves (and some I just got used to), the disappointment with the season has remained.

It seems like the magic, the gentle spirit of Christmas, has gone the way of the dodo bird... only to be replaced with grabby people and shameful overspending for things most people don't even need or won't even care about. Then there's the over-decorating (we must Martha up our homes!!), the stress of paying for it all, the pressure to live up to expectations, the selfishness of shoppers. I hate going to the store for even simple things now. The crowds don't care, the cashiers are overworked... all to the tune of "Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas". Um, no its not!!

I dream of simpler times, I guess. In a lot of things. I'd like my family to spend one Christmas where we just handmade one present for each person. Where we reach out to those less fortunate, in a more meaningful way. Where we spent less time driving all over, and more time appreciating what we have together. I work hard to make the season special for my family, but it takes it out of me.

And its not even Thanksgiving.

I need refreshment of my old holiday zest, in a big way.

 Awww.......Somebody needs some cheering up!
Shall I put some mistletoe on my belly button, so you can kiss what's hanging below??
