The Antithesis of ChristmasFull disclosure: I completely forgot about December's post. (Later realization: no I didn't; now you just get twice the content for funsies. You're welcome/I'm sorry.) Must've slipped my mind. The good news is my post-post inspo came to me in a flash after reflecting on a quick return. Having gotten to this unnamed department store at the comfortable hour of 10 am, I was surprised to see a line of unbelievably tired faces in the spirit of the season. How could I have forgotten the stress of it all?
The pandemic has changed the way we've been able to get together including holiday celebrations. I'm not pro-virus by any stretch of the imagination though I have to say the incident reminded me why I love bowing out of holiday tradition. Whether or not you're religious, I find it a little ridiculous to spend the better part of winter dragging yourself around like an overworked horse. You're missing the point. Somehow we know that capitalism is a disaster yet we're not ready to part with our materialistic programming. Isn't it time to let go? Please don't take this the wrong way. I don't mean to rain on your parade or suck the joy out of a festive occasion. I, for one, enjoyed a relaxed holiday full of peace and reading and wouldn't have had it any other way. Here's to a much better 2022 with less stress and more sleep!
