This post is all bahumbuggy

by Jodifur on November 27, 2007

I hate the holidays. I know. Peace on earth, joy to the world, blah, blah, blah.
I just got through Thanksgiving. 30 people for dinner and company staying with us for 5 days. And I'm tired, really tired. And now I have to gear up for holiday parties, 2 on the same day in some cases. And really, half these people I only see once a year anyway. Do I have to hang out with the people I work with? Or who my husband works with? Or family I never see?
Can't we all take a break?
I'm going to propose a new idea. Planning a holiday party? Do it in January when people are less busy. Seriously, this coming weekend is the only weekend I have where we have nothing planned. I'd like to spend it sleeping.
And not to mention all the weight I gain over the next month. Too much food and wine. And shopping. Not enough time for working out and eating right.
So, I might be a Grinch, but I'd like to go to sleep and wake up New Years Eve Day.

My 40th birthday is December 14th. I graduate from college on December 21st. The combination party for both is January 19th. I’m not stupid.

First, the holidays are so busy for everyone. It sucks. But I wish I had holiday parties to attend.

Second, I am having such a hard time getting your blog to open on any computer I’ve tried it on. It thinks and thinks and then just shuts down. I thought it was my computer at home, but I tried it at work and still nothing. I had success today, though! YAY!

I guess the good news is that since everyone always has so many holiday parties to attend that you can’t be faulted for not staying very long at any one event. Just tell them that you can only stay for a bit because you have another party to get to as well – and then, if you don’t really have another one – you can go home and try to relax!

I was going to comment on how I’m lucky that I never really become discombobulated over the holidays but then I remembered a post I wrote a fw years ago around Christmas that had 17 “I HATE THAT” in it. So I’ll just nod sagely and say it is sheer madness.

My husband’s work does that! Because everyone has so many things going on they get a much better turnout in January. I love it! It is kind of something to look forward to after the holidays are over, too.

You’ll wake up just in time for my birthday (January 3) which is really all that matters in my world too. Screw Christmas, give me my own day, please.

Also, I hate Christmas music. So I’m slightly bahhumbuggy myself.

Maybe I will have a holiday party in January! That’s actually a great idea.
