Holidays 2011...dread begins early..

Until about 4 years ago I loved the holidays. 

If you know me then you know why I am a little on edge during this period.  Not so much because of the fact that my foot happened shortly after the holidays in 2007, but because as a whole the experience has gone cold for me.  I can't put my finger to why, and that's the disturbing part.

My dad used to be like this too.  It's not that he didn't enjoy the holidays or anything like that, but it seemed like in his later life his enthusiasm for it waned, especially as my sister and I got older.  It wasn't so bad when we crossed Thanksgiving but when Christmas got here it seemed as if he was a jumble of emotions.

I will get by, though.  2011 has been a tumultous year at home and especially at work and hopefully, that will settle down.

Nevertheless, it's going to be an odd time, so be ready to hear about it here on the blog.
