I don't know if it's simply because I'm getting older, but I am so glad that Christmas has finally come and gone. Especially the gone part. It seems like each year, Christmas becomes more and more work. Blech. Give me Thanksgiving any time - sure, there is some work to get the food ready, and there might be some decorations that are appropriate for the time of year.
But it's nothing like Christmas, with the presents, and the wrapping, and the tree, and the lights. Whew. I'm bushed. One thing that I am especially glad that has gone is The Christmas Carol. I don't mean the people who walk around and sing (do people actually do that any more)? I mean the Charles Dickens story.
