Holidays
The holidays are a very interesting time of year. Some people get happier, some more depressed. Some fluctuate from one to another. You have family obligations and work obligations and numerous other things to deal with, so the real question is how do you balance it? Most of the time I really enjoy the holidays. I get to see family that I don't normally get to spend time with, especially since I live a good distance from them. For some reason this year doesn't seem to be as jolly as years past. I know I should just buck up and try to make it happy but I am just not feeling it this year. I know this may be sounding a bit retarded considering that the real meaning of the holidays is to be charitable to others and be thankful for what you do have and the happiness that is currently in your life, but sometimes a person just doesn't feel like doing that. Perhaps that person feels like not dealing with it and possibly just maintaining a good old fashioned slight beer buzz to make it through. I know I am not the only one who considers such an option, even if I don't go through with it. Oh well, the holidays were upon us before we knew it. I am sure they will be over in the same manner. To anyone reading this, I wish you the happiest of holidays and the best of things to come in the new year.
