Time Marches On

Well children, another month is in the books.  Hard to believe that in just a few short weeks it will be another year gone and a new one beginning.  I have decided that I would make a good bear.  I would looooooove to hibernate for the next couple of months.  November and December just aren't on my list of favorites at the moment.  Monday night I was thinking I should go ahead and decorate for Christmas (you know with that tree that I threatened to keep in the closet).  I sat and looked around the living room, got up and fixed a cup of hot chocolate, went back to the recliner sat and looked around, sipped hot chocolate, sat and looked around and then just said to hell with it and went to bed.  It was 6:45.  In a better frame of mind did drag all that stuff out and it took me two days but I am pleased to say that the decorations are up.  I did however put the tree in the dining room so I don't have to look at it so much.  I am trying folks but the holiday spirit just ain't hit.  I did tell my daughter that I might have enjoyed it more if alcohol had been involved.  But, alas, it was the work day so I abstained.  I should be ashamed of myself for sounding negative after 30 days of Thanksgiving and I do apologize.  You would think that this being my 3rd Christmas alone that it might be a little easier and in some ways I guess it is.  Time does march on and I promise to be in a more positive frame of mind.  I warned ya'll at Halloween I was turning into a Scrooge.  Bah humbug and all that.  Thanks for listening.
