Easy on the Christmas Please

I’m trying not to Grinch up the place or anything but I think this year I’m going to just let Christmas sort of pass on by. I’ve gotten some cards done and picked up the kid’s and grandkid’s gifts but I don’t think I’ll be doing much more than that. The tree, lights, baking, festivals, sleigh rides and ho-ho-hos are just going to have to be left to someone else.

Our next door neighbor has his house lit up a la Griswold, which is nice, I figure I’ll just hope some of the light beaming from his house will light mine up a little. He even offered to hang my lights for me, which was a nice gesture but not gonna happen because A.) I don’t own outdoor lights. and B.) I honestly don’t feel like it.

It’s been a rough year and I just don’t feel even a little “in the spirit”. I hope next year I’ll be back to my maniac Martha Stewart-esq Christmas-y self. But for this year I think it’ll be a low key Xmas for me.
