Christmas Slinks Away (by sarah)
Last day of Christmas :'( I am not ready for it to go. But the decorations must come down for it is twelth night so the lights are on for the last time and I shall play the music once more. The festiveness has slunk away - now is the season of birthdays so I suppose its ok.
Of course my neighbours have yet to celebrate their Christmas and I here traditionally it ends on the 2nd of Feb or something so whilst the fluffiest sequined reindeer jumper and those with the flashing lights and the christmas tree and christmas pud hats are being packed away my Christmas onsie and two plainer Christmas jumpers shall stay, with their geometric pointsettiers.
Also I am still working on the craft advent for Salaric Craft the idea was that if I started it this year for the 10th Christmas it would be complete for next Christmas which I think is actually the 10th birthday either way I knew such a big project would take time 🙂
It is basically recorded I just need to edit it and put the photos and write ups in. Then it can sit there all ready for next year. Main issue was my tech is old and shonky and every couple of videos the tech needs a good over haul which is reliant on Alaric having time!
I failed to actually post christmas cards to people - I have some notion in my head of sending new year cards but we shall see how time goes etc...
I still need to decide what I am doing for my birthday :/ The actual day I will be at the hospital so that pretty much wipes that out and the weekends are filling up. Not even really sure what I want to do if I am honest.
This is the grey bit of the year with no Christmas but cold or dampness blocking out the light. My family often used to leave the Christmas decorations up until my birthday but when I got to uni people moaned that it was bad luck and stuff and that thought kind of got wedged in my head and ruined it. And that hacks me off because if people can put their decorations up in mid November why can't I keep mine for an extra week which is still Christmas in many places anyway?
Anyway my general way around the bleakness is the New Year Resolutions and general spring clean type stuff. So I have made action plans and I have chosen things to learn in 2017 and it is I suppose time to be getting on with them and it will be good to have my exercise bike back in the living room so I can use it 🙂
So I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and you are having a Happy New Year 🙂
