Not Feeling So Spirited This Year

Nov 13, 2011

Most who know me and interact with me on a daily basis know that generally around this year, my spirits start to perk up as we gear up for one of my favorite holidays (Thanksgiving) and the end of the year. While I do not celebrate Christmas, I do celebrate Solstice, but not for the reasons people think.

I really could not care if I received present because what I enjoy most about this time of the year is giving. Yes, you read that right. I love to see the look on people’s faces when they open the things I’ve given them because it warms my heart to see their happiness. So far this year, where I’ve probably have already purchased a few gifts, I’m way behind on my list of things to do. Now that I have a redenvelope coupon on hand, I really can’t postpone it anymore, but I just don’t know what to get people for gifts.

I wish I was a little more excited this year for the holidays but I have too much weighing on my shoulders for me to even really be remotely excited. It’s frustrating and annoying and I just wish I could go back to be the carefree girl I once knew. Maybe one day– just not one day soon.
