A Christmas in transition is what my sister called it. And that goes without judgment of my situation or any of the people in it or those who are about to leave my company. I found that I didn’t miss the shopping, the traffic, and the expense of buying presents for a family that now shuns me. And I am okay with that because it just confirms in my mind that I was just a bank. Sound like sour grapes well, yeah because it was okay while I was footing the bill and now that I have pulled the plug I feel just like it’s the drinking buddies I had that don’t call me anymore.
To be truthful I have come to the conclusion that not only are Christmas decorations a waste of time and money but so is the seasonal music that accompanies Christmas. The endless drivel has become abhorrent to me. If I heard Silver Bells one more time I was going to shoot myself in the head. Truly there are some songs that I can stomach but for the most part the same old tunes with a new artist do not make lousy lyrics and pedestrian melodies a hit song. Christmas is over and I couldn’t be happier that the season to be jolly is the season that makes me sick.
Grouch old men talk that way. Christmas is a rebirth . Perhaps you have forgotten the true meaning, the birth of our Savior. What about the joy of watching our grandchildren open the gifts Santa brought. Try thinking about others and not yourself. $$$ seems to be your focus not the sentimentality of the holiday. Not the visits and cards friends we rarely seen send. I guess you don't have any happy memories of Christmases gone by. The gifts we choose for those we love not the price but the thought. The music also brings back memories, kids concerts, music lessons, the joy of just getting it right. OK Grinch bye
