Over the weekend I was driving into town to pick up my daughter and while searching through the radio stations, I landed on one that usually plays 80s and 90s rock, only to find that they are already playing Christmas music. It is absolutely everywhere (and let’s face it, has been since before Halloween) and I’m just not feeling it at all this year. Is anyone else having trouble?
I guess I am just finding it really hard to be in a celebratory mood with all the awful things currently happening (or, at least being talked about for next year). Plus, let’s be real here — the weather has been crazy. I think I’ve worn a jacket only once or twice so far this fall. We’re having a horrible drought on top of it, too (though some rain is forecasted for tomorrow night into Thursday). Not exactly the cozy weather that inspires holiday feelings.
I don’t know. I bought my Thanksgiving turkey on Sunday and I’m working on my menu. We’ll get the tree up next week. Maybe that will help get me in the spirit.
