It always seemed really unfair to me that Christmas decorations go up for a month, then the weather gets really shitty and we put them all away again. I mean, I know that we get to enjoy them until New Years or so, but I really think that it should be socially acceptable to leave your lights up until Memorial Day. Or at least until Presidents’ Day.<\/p>\n
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m suffering a little bit from Christmas withdrawal. Even though we haven’t even celebrated with my Dad or his parents yet. I’m not such a fan of long winter nights without that merry twinkle of lights. And I’m not so much looking forward to taking down the tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Normally, January and February is one long blur of crappy weather, cold and slush. Luckily for me, this January I have my CDs to look forward to (they should get pressed around the middle of the month) and, in February, I have a couple of CD release parties. And maybe a visit to my sister in California to throw into the mix.<\/p>\n
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a much happier camper when I have something to look forward to.<\/p>\n
Until then, I shall drink the leftover egg nog in our fridge (note to self: buying egg nog at Costco, even if you have 13 people for Christmas Dinner, is\u00a0unnecessary.) We’re going to be drinking the stuff until at least Presidents’ Day.<\/p>\n
Happy Boxing Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
