Are the Holidays getting you blue??
Do you feel like its been a rough year and this year you have to be frugal so its starting to cramp your style a bit?
Are you feeling tired, rundown, mentally exhausted from all the activities and shopping and work you have to do right now?
Do you feel like you can't wait for the Holidays to be over?
If you do you are not alone! You have a friend in me!! I have been so strung out lately working hard for my tradeshow coming up in Atlanta in January that I haven't had any real time to enjoy this Holiday season, infact I am actually looking forward for it to be over and that is not me. I love do all the Christmas decorating, and baking and hanging with friends, but not this year. I am too busy trying to create new collections and preparing my booth that I haven't even put out my Christmas lights and its getting closer and closer. I did manage to put up our tree but that was it! I am feeling bad for the kids but this year I just cannot do it all.
I am going to take a break tonight and make those cute tiny gingerbread houses with them out of Graham crackers, but then after that its work, work, work again! Frankly with things tight this year I am really in no mood to celebrate. For years we hosted a big Christmas party with Santa and all and these past two years we had to cut it out of our budget, and while I know the kids are sad about it, it just doesn't make sense to spend all that money when we could use it elsewhere.
So there you have it folks.. I am feeling the blues! However rest assured I am sure I will be back to my old self before you know it..I mean I am the forever optimist so there is no way this could last that long.
To all my friends out there who are having a hard year also.. know that you are not alone and that together we will overcome whatever comes our way!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Ellen
