Bah Humbug!

The above picture is my Christmas spirit captured in a single flash.... I have always LOVED Christmas and everything associated with it, but for some reason, this year, I'm just not into it.  I have always decorated inside AND out, baked cookies and cakes to give away and made gifts for all. I even had good intentions for sending out cards this year as well.  I guess it could be the fact that I was overrun by my own success with my online store or the fact that the general public has made me MISERABLE.

Everywhere I turn, people are mad dashing through the streets, parking lots, and stores just so that they can aimlessly meander through the aisles in hopes of finding that 'perfect' gift. Odds are they will buy some piece of junk that will be returned, broken or forgotten about in the next 30 days. I literally had a woman run me over with a cart while shopping for a toy for my nephew. I almost lost it.... Is it possible that Christmas music is to blame? Its meant to spread Christmas cheer, but in reality all it does is spread Christmas CHAOS! The amount of people bursting in and out of BayBrook mall is nauseating. It really sucks the fun out of anything when you have to get near it.  I literally cannot wait for the new year to begin so that all this cluster f*ck will be over.
