Where Is That Christmas Spirit???
This morning, I saw two acts of generosity that made me smile. At work the past two weeks, vendors, sales, customers, ect have been bringing in food (love holiday luncheons even if Sales might have tried to poison us with Jimmy Johns' alfalfa sprouts). People have been donating to charities (more than usual).
I feel like a grown up, however. I don't feel like I'm in the holiday spirit. I forget that tomorrow is Christmas Eve eve. And the sad thing is that part of me really doesn't care. It's just another day? WTF! I'm not a scrooge by any means, thankfully. I'm glad for Christmas but I'm also kind of teetering on the thoughts that I have a lot to do and I don't think I can really wind down. My shopping is done--all but Danielle's present which I've orchestrated my father to purchase during his shopping and I will pay and wrap later. So, Christmas presents aren't bad. I'm not in the mood to bake for Christmas since that's never really been an exact tradition in my family. I'm slightly dreading the holiday event with the extended family only because I know I won't see all of the people I really want to see this year (like my favorite aunt, favorite uncle, Jordan, Brody, Faith, Missy, Donya, Sean...) But I will see Amy and Grandma and Christie's family and Amber and Josh and Morgan. But this also means Shane and Frank. Whatever. I'm just not excited for it. And the actual celebration of Christmas sounds like a good plan. A good incorporation. It's all planned. But yet again, it seems as if we're to unwrap and go. I want to stomp my feet and demand I be allowed to relax!
Christmas movies are not getting me in the mood. Usually by now, I'm going overboard with my movies. Muppets Christmas Carol-I only watched up until the first ghost last night before I went to bed instead. Now, I'm bored with the Santa Clause even though I love the first two films and have such fond memories with them, I'm busy cleaning my room instead. It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie--I think it's still on my shelf. I'm not really eager to watch it or the others right now. And I don't know when I will get a chance to either! Tomorrow night, we're all going out. Then, it's Christmas eve so there's that whole family thing. Christmas is Christmas and we're booked. And then Sunday's too late. I just know that I will avoid TBS on Christmas eve. 24 hours of A Christmas Story! FML I would rather stare at the wall! I've seen it twice, I think and that's twice too many. On the radio on my way home, they said that it was the #1 movie (#2 is It's A Wonderful Life--again, a movie I dread watching again. #3 was Scrooged--which surprises me). I think most people love Elf. Not a bad movie. Original. But kind of overplayed. It's a Will Ferrell flick so it's bound to be a little hit-or-miss.
I don't know. I think I'm just tired. I think I'm just over-thinking everything lately. Someday, I'll relax. Can't wait for tomorrow night!!!
"Whoo! I think Santa feels a little buzz! Woo!"
