  I confess....I have no Christmas spirit in me this year. We have a tree up, and a garland on the mantle. And I mailed our cards this morning. But I'm just not feeling it. I should be excited since this is our first Christmas as a married couple and in this house (we moved in two days after Christmas last year). I hope I get some spirit soon!

  This!  It's terrible....We had "Christmas" with my parents before they flew out yesterday to my sister's in DE and I'm just about as bahumbug as you can get.  I feel like Mrs. Scrooge.  I think I'm a little jealous and mad that my sister and parents are togther and Hubby and I are all alone this year.  Blah....

  I confess that I"m SO over xmas parties. We've been to two already and we have my best friends xmas party tomorrow night. I HATE buying gifts, it stresses me out. And I've had to buy gifts for family and for these stupid xmas parties and for a co worker for secret santa! I am SO over xmas all together. I just cant wait to give my family their gifts and see their faces and then I want it over with! Bah humbug!!

  I'm looking forward to having a 4 day weekend more than I'm looking forward to Christmas. Normally, I love Christmas but work has just been awful so I think it's sucking all of my Christmas spirit.

  I confess we have 10 people coming over to the house tomorrow and I don't care if it's a mess right now. H is worn out and tomorrow I'm going to freak.

   I've tried to do too much too fast and my butt is whooped by life right now. Recovering from surgery is lame.  

  Oh and my doc paperwork said I wasn't fit to go back to work for a couple of weeks and they didn't tell me so HR is not happy since I was working and not cleared. Sheeps!  They could have TOLD ME that's what they were writing!

   Oh and as someone with lots of vegetarian friends and some vegan friends my H just told me today that there is "No way to have a healthy diet without eating meat" and I wanted to just slug him when he said that.

   I second this. ALL of this. I'm more stressed about every where we have to be Saturday thru Tuesday than I am excited for Christmas. I also have to work tomorrow and Monday. Im going to be tired!

  I guess I am being a little bit of a Grinch this year too. For some reason, I am been extremely sensitive about my birthday. It was Wednesday, the 19th. It never seemed to bother me how close my birthday was to Christmas until the past two years. I guess between two cousins getting married in the same year as us and my aunt and uncle only spending time with my cousin's fianc? before and after their wedding I've felt like I'm worthless. It didn't help that my birthday fell on a Wednesday and traffic always sucks around our apartment so it is tough to go out. It just didn't feel like a birthday this year. Sorry I just wanted to vent a bit. Its not that I don't like Christmas, just feel people forget about me. I'll stop being selfish now. Happy Holidays to everyone!

  I know how you feel! My brother's birthday was Wednesday too, and my mom's is today. I think they've always gotten the shaft a little. And if it helps, my birthday is in February and no one remembers.

  H's birthday is Christmas Eve, so I really try hard to make his birthday special, outside of Christmas.  He always makes mine so great that I want to do the same for him, but it's hard. Added to that is the fact that he is always with his fam in NC on his birthday, while I'm stuck in CT working. 

   I confess that my job has ruined the holidays for me.  We aren't allowed any time off during year-end.  Our workload also increases exponentially, so i go home exhausted each day.  And knowing that my one day off, Christmas, will result in even more work on Dec 26th, well, it even sort of ruins Christmas, because all I can think about is how much I am dreading going back to work. I feel incredibly selfish, and I know I should just be happy to have a job, etc, but I get so grumpy.  And it's no fun missing H's birthday each year.   

   On the other hand, I confess that I sort of enjoyed having the house to myself last night.  I watched all my DVR'd lifetime movies, and ate food that he hates   Yum! haha.  The puppy and I were lazy bones, and we cuddled and it was fantastic! Still missed H, though.
