I’m not going to lie – I have the blues tonight. I usually get them starting around Halloween and keep them through the holidays. Each holiday is a little worse – Thanksgiving will be bad but Christmas will be worse. New Year’s Eve will be the light at the end of the tunnel.
Each year I think the holidays get me worse then the year before. Right now, Halloween is barely pass and I’m already as blue as I was at Thanksgiving this time last year.
We talk about Christmas decorations and who is giving what for presents this year at work. People talk about their families coming in from far away, how they’ll have a big dinner, etc. It all just makes me feel worse. I participate and smile – save the crying for when I’m alone.
This year I am determined to be moved back to Iowa before the next holiday season. Even so, this decision does little to relieve the blues now.
