Stuck in a Day…
Today marks an entire month since The Polar Express barreled toward the North Pole and The Grinch returned Christmas. Holiday decorations have long since been stuffed in Rubbermaid bins and shoved in closets. Vacuum cleaners no longer choke on glitter and pine needles. Sweet Baby Jesus has outgrown the manager and is climbing the steep hill of Golgotha with the weight of the world strapped to his shoulders. Love Crazy Cupid is stockpiling arrows and arching his bow, ready to aim. Almost everyone is over Christmas this time of year except our precious savior, Santa Claus, and my children. Yeah, Me!
I could not take the trees down fast enough. I wanted to take them apart, limb by limb, the minute the last gift was opened, but I didn’t. I waited to New Years. I thought, “I’ll give my kids a few more days to bask in the glow of twinkle lights before the magic of the season fades into the hope of the New Year.” The problem is it’s not fading. We are still belting out Christmas carols, eating candy canes, watching The Polar express and elving ourselves from the app store. I feel like Bill Murray in the movie, Groundhog Day, Ugh! I love Jesus, but I have had more than enough of the Fat Man and his red-nosed reindeer. Is anyone else having this problem?
I am not sure how long this is going to last, but you have to admit, it is kind of cute. And, Merry Christmas in January!
sit down.. my tree is still up.. i know, but all those twinkly lights I love..
I am sitting down…it’s okay….it’s hard to move on! I still think you are pretty awesome even if your tree is still up.
It’s definitely cute:D These are wonderful years!xx
Thank you and they are wonderful years. I just wish they would not pass so quickly!
My tree is still up too! I love having my first coffee of the day under the twinkle lights … so much nicer than the bright light of the kitchen … 🙂
Shame on you!! I think we need to start a support group for people who can’t get over Christmas….enjoy your twinkle lights!
Let’s do it! And I would totally wear that on a t-shirt: “I can’t turn off my twinkle lights”.
Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few p.c. to drive the message house a little bit, however other than that, that is great blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
