Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to going home and see my family, breathe some fresh country air, long walks in the forest and Christmas is giving me that opportunity. But as far as saying I'm in a Christmas mood? No.
We have bought a tiny, very cute potted Christmas tree and some decorations are in place. It's very nice and I am happier for having the little tree and it goes nicely with the other decorations. But am I in the mood for Christmas? Again, the answer is 'no'.
Funnily enough I started this entry yesterday but could not find 'the joy' to finish it as I felt I'd be little Miss Ba-Humbug and a miserable excuse of a girl who just turned 30. But it seems as if I'm not alone findning it difficult this year, my friend Miss E has posted a similar entry on her blog.
But perhaps it won't do any harm if Christmas and I will take a break from each other just this once? A relationship like ours must be one of mutual respect and joy - I'm sure it'll get better and if it doesn't? Well, I am quite good at faking it.*
And to all of you: Ba Humbug
*I've got practise.

Since my plan is to do an extreme home make-over during Christmas vacation I haven't gotten a tree, I haven't gotten all my decorations up and I have not bought any glögg or cookies. But so waht, who needs it as long as I have friends and family who love me? (Oh yeah, I'm trying to piss everyone off by being all spirital and thankful ;p)
I wasn't in a Christmassy mood at all this year myself- and then I went and had the flu and bronchitis- still, I embrace my bah-humbugness, I hate winter and I hate Christmas so there! :p
