Christmas post (long before Christmas)

*waves at flist*

I don't think I've ever been this excited about Christmas. It is weird, but very time I walk past a tacky fake Christmas tree or light ornaments my tummy gets this warm, comfy feeling inside and I start dreaming about Christmas. The cakes, the food, the gløgg, the snow, the Christmas trees, the presents. I've decided to force my office to partake in this inflated holiday cheer by buying red candles and gløgg and Christmas cookies to serve to the patients.

So how about you guys? Are you looking forward to Christmas? What holiday traditions do you love/hate? What are you most excited about?

Nope, not really looking forward to christmas. Too much stress (work-stress, family-stress, money-stress, relationship-stress, gift-stress, etc-stress) at the end of the year. The only holiday tradition (other than exchanging gifts) I participate in is mailing cards because it makes me feel all connected and such to my friends, yanno?

I don't get that. If this holiday makes you stressed out, can't you reduce the amount of stuff you do for christmas? How about buying the gifts in november?

It's mostly work, really. I could reduce the amount of work I have, but that would leave me unemployed and homeless. Which would be different kinds of stress.

Aw...*hugs you*

I'm going back to school next year so I'll end up with a nice job. ever considered going back to college?

No, I'd need money for that. Which would mean having a job at least as bad as this one. *shrugs*
