This holiday season, are you feeling jolly, or jolly-ish, or Grinch-like?

Yes, to all, on rotation. For the first time I have handed all the reins to my kiddo, a bit of relief there! But mostly we concentrate on having a lovely time and seeing the people we care about without making a big fuss about Tradition.
But I will be relieved on Thursday!!!

A little grinch-y but I’m trying. Lights and tree up at least.

I’ve been “meh” about the holidays since my folks passed in 2000 and 2005. My sister lives about 800 miles away and has her own family and in-laws. I don’t remember the last year I decorated.

You guys are going to groan, but would you believe I’ve never seen the traditional holiday movies? 34th street, wonderful life, christmas in CT, and others. I’ve seen parts of most of them but that’s it. I was thinking maybe this year I’ll watch them.
