is relieved that the holidays are almost over? Feel like I am committing some grave sin in saying so but the holidays haven't been the same for me since I was a kid. I guess that should be no surprise and one of the reasons why being an adult can be such a pain sometimes.
I also think that for me the whole over-the-top commercialization of the holidays has just taken the meaning out of it. This year, I made a concerted effort not to go overboard with the gift-giving but probably at the risk of alienating a bunch of people who expected them. Whatever happened to having holidays that just meant being with and enjoying the people you love? That was the best part of the holidays for me, and hanging out with my 2 crazy little nieces was probably the best gift I received.
Now I just have to get through New Year's where I will resist the temptation to make resolutions I never keep. Except for one, that is. That 2008 is the year that I turn my life on its head, or else! Not asking for much, am I? Maybe that's why I am so bad at this resolution business...
