Little miss grumpy
I really love this time of year. I’ve always loved Christmas - the Santa and presents bit as well as the religious side. I also love the idea of Yule and the wheel of the year, and would love to be out there lighting a bonfire, welcoming the sun back, and all of that. And we’re so close too to the New Year which always seems like such a chance for a new start. Normally I would have been getting a wreath for the front door and planning out a tree and ornaments and decorations and getting all enthusiastic.
But this year I just feel so tired and rundown… I’m only just back home, after moving out for a month while I had central heating and a new kitchen fitted here, and still the workmen seem to be here every day…. I wish I could be grateful for all the work having been done but it’s been so stressful that everytime I walk into the kitchen all I want to do is to kick a cupboard!
So the last thing I feel like doing is starting buying Christmas trees and decorating the place and celebrating, and it seems so late now anyway. Am I turning into an old grump or scrooge? I have decorated some cookies for Christmas and I’m hoping to decorate a gingerbread house, maybe on Christmas Eve. But still, my idea of a blissful Christmas at the moment would be to be curled up in bed, snug and warm, with no workmen knocking at the door….
