Warming Up To The Holidays

I'm not the biggest fan of the Christmas holiday season. It's a nice time of year, but I suppose that getting older has contributed to the loss of enthusiasm for all the holiday cheer. Regardless, I wrapped presents last night and started making my multiple batches of peanut brittle. The first batch is going to my new co-workers, the next five or six batches will go to my relatives. Tomorrow is the office holiday pot luck, so I whipped up my sister-in-law's taco dip recipe. I even dropped off a present at the post office today. What's missing? The tree. No tree this year. All my poor ornaments, left to sit in their boxes in a dark closet for another year. Unless by some miracle Matt puts up the tree. It's a fake one, so time isn't of the essence here. So Happy Holiday's y'all. Enjoy it with some friends and family.

No energy or time. My 40-45 minute commute (which can easily become an hour long depending on weather) has had a tiring effect on me and, thus, only what needs to get done around the house is handled in the evenings. A christmas tree is just another chore right now. Plus, with the way Buddy treated my peanut brittle, I'm not sure putting up a tree is the best of ideas!
