it ain't just a river...

Jessica: "Mom, is it still Christmas?"

Me: "No--Christmas is over."

Jessica: "Why are the Christmas trees still up?"

Me: "Cause Mommy is in denial."

Jessica: "What's denial."

Me: "It's kind of like pretending."

Every year I get in a post-holiday funk. I think it is the whole build up to the fun and then, boom, it's over. This year I am employing various methods to fight the funk. The plan is to exercise more, get this house organized, and do some projects.

My family supports my leaving Christmas up. Bev said we should leave it up until Valentine's Day. Mike suggested saving myself the work for next Christmas and just leaving it up until then.
