In the middle of the annual holi-craziness. December’s usually a pretty stressful time for me. I’ve been sick during Christmas three of the last five years (although thankfully not this year), and somehow it seems like work always seems to be especially busy—and this year’s definitely no exception. Plus I’m doing five shows this month, which I definitely enjoy, but they do tend to take up the weekends. So I didn’t get the lights up this year, and still having put up the Christmas tree. So I feel like, to quote from The Waitress’ “Christmas Wrapping:”
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I’ll miss this one this year.
Most of the time the feeling passes, though with relatives staying over and then obligatory cross-country travel to visit more relatives, I’d really enjoy a quiet Christmas home alone once in a while.
