December - in like a lion! Woke up to so much snow- Poppy & Ginger both said: No.
Peeing indoors (in the bathroom on the pads) will probably be it, until the big dogs carve some paths. Lol
December… the past week, Instagram is busy with decorating- notably these massive Nutcrackers from Walmart (I think in the USA for $150each) & instantly as soon as people take them from the box, they paint them a solid colour - Gold usually & put them outside the front door 2 (mostly) so that’s $300. on 2 Holiday decorations. I have friends who could not afford a Thanksgiving Turkey (at $80.) so I doubt it will have changed much in a month.
Christmas Stuff - Ho ho ho! No no no. It helped me decide: I’m not decorating this year.
Christmas is the ‘bulling season’.. “Oh but it’s Christmas!” Suddenly nothing else matters.. cause it’s Christmas - “Don’t be a Scrooge”. Fuck that.
Christmas is rarely about Christ it seems, people get further & further in debt - over STUFF. Stuff that gets broken and tossed aside after boredom with it sets in. These Christmas movies, we are bombarded with are filled with STUFF.
Stuff. Stuff. I have people I care about going in for surgery this month & the past year has taught me… accidents happen - there is no such thing as ‘minor surgery’ - so, I just want them back home safe -already.
I have other things to focus on besides Nutcrackers.
December, for many just adds to depressing them further. Jim Carey (on IG) said he was taught Depression needs - Deep rest. I’ve been sleeping a bit more than usual, it’s what my body needs & demands & I am going to listen.
Paint, nap… snuggle with dogs & repeat. I'll do this to keep depression at bay, I paint to keep my mind stimulated on positive things. I’ll probably paint, some Christmas because I enjoy reminiscing, don’t we all… but that’s as far as it’s going. I don't consider myself a Scrooge at all, nor do I care if anyone 'thinks' I am. I actually feel relieved that I recognize, I don't enjoy getting caught up in the Seasonal Charade. That, makes me feel better.
I will be celebrating Jesus (as always) Christmas & on…
For those who do not wish to partake in ‘the season’ - don’t. Skip it & have a nap! For those who are still excited about decorating & the tree & STUFF! Yes, celebrate! Do what makes you happy but do NOT call anyone a Scrooge who does not with to play along… perhaps they have a valid reason for ignoring the season.
Christmas craft tomorrow - hahaha - I LOVE sharing ideas for people to create some 'gifts' rather than go into debt.. it's more of something to make with the kids, create good memories for Christmas - that's a gift that will be cherished - forever.
Ho ho ho... time to watch dogs play in snow.
