It happens every year, just like clockwork. I've done my shopping (but there's still the wrapping) school is out (but I'm exhausted from all of the parties, crafts, sugar, etc) I've pondered the TRUE MEANING of Christmas (and gritted my teeth everytime some do-gooder pretends that Christmas is the only holiday celebrated in December and urges me to boycott anyone/aything who has the audacity to say "Happy Holidays") and now it's time for my Annual Holiday Meltdown where I want to scream to the world, "WILL YOU ALL JUST SOD OFF YOU UNGRATEFUL INGRATES???!?!?!??!?!!?!?".
*takes a deep breath*
*gets into zen mode*
*wonders if that is allowed when one celebrates Christmas, or is that not Christian enough of me?*
*doesn't care*
*takes another deep breath*
*thinks about my favorite Christmas songs, especially the rendition of "O Holy Night" that was sung at church yesterday*
*drinks some Dr. Pepper*
*knows the meltdown will pass in a few hours*
*feels better while keeping things in perspective*

I am right with you on the whole "boycott anyone/anything who says Happy Holidays" being so freaking annoying. It is so stupid. I don't have any problem wishing people Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Qwanza, or just saying Happy Holidays. What the heck is wrong with reconizing other people's beliefs and traditions?
Just wanted to let you know that I share that pet peeve too :)
I love that we are on the same page on so many things! The day is always better with an extra Dr Pepper!
Exactly! I actually am the very opposite though! I grinch up leading up to Christmas, complain about unnecessary gift-giving, decorating an unworthy house, christmas music 24/7, etc. But then we start singing those songs at church and the boys get excited so I give in to the spirit and remember what Christmas is about.
