Bah Humbug.

[jessipsaloquitur]

There are only 11 days until Christmas. I'm definitely running out of time to snap out of this Bah Humbug mood I find myself in and get my holiday cheer on.

I don't know what my deal is. I'm usually very in to the whole holiday thing. But this year, I just can't seem to get excited about any of it.

It's not like last year when I found myself bogged down in a fog of actual Depression (yes, with a capital "D"). No. Instead it's just a persistent sense of "meh," of disinterest in the holidays with an underlying sense of panic because I haven't done any of the things that should probably get done. Like decorating, or putting up a tree, or baking, or actually doing some holiday shopping. I haven't done any of that.

So, here's my plan for kicking my own ass out of this Scrooge Mood and acting "as if": tonight I'm breaking out the decorations and putting up the tree, making hot chocolate and forcing idiosyncratic to watch holiday movies with me; tomorrow I'm dragging myself out to brave the stores for some holiday shopping; and tomorrow night I'm baking cookies (I defy my Scrooge Mood to stand up to COOKIES!!!). Merry Christmas, dammit!!!!!!

I do have to say, however, that despite my Bah-Humbugness, I have had moments of Holiday Glee upon finding cards in my mailbox from meredevachon, azewewish, and idiosyncratic (Ha! Jo got here before her card did. Our postal service fails.), and a holiday package from without_me (which shall go under the tree as soon as I get the damn tree up! *g*). Thank you, ladies, for the holiday cheer!!! Mwah!

Dude, I'm barely resisting the urge to make a bah-humbug post myself! SOUL SISTAH! There must be something in the water this year. And my shopping's all done, too! Go figure. Anyway, thank you, again, for the gift, which I am saving to open on my birthday.

Yeah. My plan to snap myself out of this mood is failing miserably. Bah Humbug, I tell you!

I think you have a lovely plan to beat the holiday doldrums. I hope it works!

This plan better work, otherwise I'm calling it quits on this month and skipping straight to New Years. *nods*

Mmmmmm. COOKIES!!!!!!!! If Jo doesn't eat them all, I'll save you some. *g*

She IS rather greedy like that. *g*

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I can run faster than she can, so I should be able to keep some of the cookies out of her greedy clutches. :)

Merry Christmas, dammit!!!!!!

Yes, I believe that's exactly what the rest of the Cratchit family said after tiny tim announced " God Bless us, every one!"

That's exactly how I remember it. *g*
