Can you hear it? The hush! The great silence that comes over your chaotic mind on the day after Christmas. The gifts are open, the mess is gone.. or not. And there's this hush.. I like it. Christmas this year was fabulous! We had more gifts than any family has a right to, more reasons to celebrate than anyone thought possible, and more people sitting on the floor in front of the tree than there was really room for. I don't think there were any great disappointments in the gift department. Everyone seemed happy and content with their bounty.. not that it would have mattered, because had someone whined I would have come uncorked! But that's all really neither here nor there... I'm not afraid to say that I'm glad it's behind us now.
The tree is starting to annoy me. The toy store that somehow exploded in my house will all find it's way into some sort of organization in the weeks to come, my cats can stop batting ornaments across the wood floor in the living room, and I can rest well knowing that I can still pull off a beautiful holiday celebration and survive mostly unscathed!
I'm sorry if I'm a post Christmas scrooge ~ wait ~ no I'm not! I'm okay with it. I'm ready to get back into the "normal" routine of life and set Christmas on the shelf in my mind that will be more than ready to be revisited in roughly 11 months!
If you're reading this and I forgot your gift, or didn't promise you photos in the coming weeks then just chalk it up to the chaos and forgive me!
