Yes, it's that time of year again, it's time for... Holiday Angst! I leave the flashing lights and animated gifs to the reader's imagination. My Christmas eve was very efficient this year. Dinner in twenty minutes. No conversation. Presents a similarly no-nonsense affair. It's nice though. One present each and probably they're not terrible. But it still feels like something is missing, and it's not just the tree.
I think, at some level, traditions are about the hassle and the bustle. They're about doing things with your family/familial group because it's what you always do together. It's not about liking it. It's about doing a thing with your familial group to be with them.
Okay, not a lot of Holiday Angst this time around. If you're looking for more angst, check back next time!
I don't know what it is about the holidays but they make me feel lonely.
