No more celebrations

 

 

     I don't know when people decide it's best to take down their Christmas decorations. Some never do it...and others, do it right after Christmas.

       Does that mean...we should stop celebrating? Well....yes and no. If you have January birthday, that's different. But for others.... they're done with all the Christmas movies and music that plays constantly. 

   When I was little, I was sad Christmas ended. Which means I had to wait a whole year till presents galore. 

   Now, I'm kind of glad Christmas is done. I guess now working in retail which goes insane with every holiday, I'm kind of glad we don't have to deal with all the craziness. Now...we need warmth

   Some people don't mind a new year...but they would rather just fast forward through winter and get right to spring. 

   My mom is one of them. The cold.... I'm ok with, but the heat...that's another story.

      We're done celebrating, but we still get the cold, and we wait for a groundhog to predict our weather. In my opinion...we're getting six more weeks.

   Putting away the decorations you had up for Christmas, there's a debate on when it's the perfect time. I believe after the New Year rings in....all the Christmas decorations go away. The tree, the lights, even the wreaths. 

    Some people don't want to do it. Maybe because it's cold outside. Understandable...but if it's still there by mid-February....something is wrong

   Again, it could be because of the weather.... but I find it lazy once people just stop putting their Christmas decorations away.

  Some people have a tradition on leaving their Christmas lights up all year long and won't turn them on until the holiday comes.

  It feels empty with all the Holiday decorations down...but I feel that it needs to be taken down so we can celebrate the new year.

    I feel it's best to not celebrate anything after the New Year is over (again unless you have a January birthday)

   January and February are considered the coldest months of the year. We just want to skip all that and get right to the warmth.

   Everyone feels happy when Christmas arrives. When it's gone, and a new year begins...we either feel depressed or fat.

    The truth is...we just feel an emptiness that even alcohol cannot fill. Which is there is a thing called...dry January. All we can do is enjoy the year and be grateful we made it through another.

   The holidays are gone, let's stop celebrating....and enjoy what we have for the new year. It might be hard, like not being able to drink.... but it can be done. Before you know it.... the year will end.

   Happy second week of the new year. That's right.... the first week has come and gone.
