During this oh-so-joyful-holiday season, do you ever feel like your head is going to spin off your body? And if you slow down for even a minute that nothing will get done in time?
Me too.
Happy Holidays, my backside

Happy Holidays, my backside
I try to keep my head down and keep plodding on. You get there eventually. If I look up, the weight of everything on my shoulders will crush me.
Steal away, dear heart.;…
I used to be that way. Now I just don’t give a crap.
yes
(finally a comment that is easy to do in these hard times, LOL)
man oh man, “running out of time” is my new middle name!! :/
Lisa’s exaggerating just a bit. I, on the other hand, can be completely factual, and I don’t have to exaggerate when I write about the joys of holiday shopping.
Sure, it can be absolutely exhausting. We went all over Manhattan today looking for presents. We left at noon and got home at 7:00. Fortunately, I go to the gym and lift weights right alongside Lisa. It comes in handy. We have a system worked out. Lisa carries the gift cards and I carry everything else. Most of the time that’s not so bad, but she has a surprisingly large family and most of them are passionate about collecting concrete garden gnomes.

No decorating done. No baking done. Very little shopping done.
But I’m not stressing. It will get done.
Wha..??? You mean I’m not the only one???
My two favorite words this year… “Online Shopping” ;-D
There seems to be a bittersweet quality to the holidays–I think it is partly seasonal affective disorder and partly the pagan origins of the holiday.
Anyway this year seems especially–I guess the word is “dualistic.”
^ Okay that was really ME–I don’t know why I did that.
But speaking of the Dasch-Man, make sure to frequently monitor your blood pressure over the holidays if you are over forty–you can do it as a CVS or your local fire station.
Make sure elderly people don’t get excited and forget their medication.
If you have any questions, contact Tom Daschle and leave me alone–I will be wallowing in my regret that my “Leave It To Beaver”/Americana fantasy never came true.
i think I feel like the Exorcist girl with her head soinning right now….in fact most of the time….Damn !
Woohoo!
I’m so not ready this year, despite being maybe 1/2 or so done my shopping. No decorations up, nothing is wrapped yet…. and it’s been snowing off and on all week. The perfect de-motivator in itself.
Whew! Glad I’m not the only one
I love the holidays. It’s all the commercial bs that surrounds it that I hate.
