\"\"<\/a>I’m having the hardest time with the holidays this year. I just can’t get into the spirit. Normally I’m singing holiday songs by October and jumping for joy because it’s my favorite time of year.<\/p>\n

Not this year.<\/p>\n

The holidays snuck up on me and I know people get annoyed when folks say, “Oh, how can it be XYZ already?!”, but well that’s how I feel.<\/p>\n

Our rental house, while perfectly fine, isn’t really our style. \u00a0It also has a bit of an awkward layout that doesn’t really invite a lot of decorating.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been so focused on our move, learning about our new city<\/a>, and trying to meet others that I haven’t given the holidays a second thought.<\/p>\n

Now Christmas is like two weeks away and the thought of buying gifts and doing holiday baking just makes me feel MEH.<\/p>\n

I have no desire to do any of it.<\/p>\n

Plus if I’m going to be completely honest, Christmas isn’t the same without this mush face around.<\/p>\n

So if there’s a lack of holiday posts this year, that’s why. \u00a0I’m not really in the holiday spirit. \u00a0Scott and I have decided to just play things really low key this year. \u00a0Sure I’ll make us some treats and plan some kick-butt dinners.<\/p>\n

But going all out?<\/p>\n

Not happening. \u00a0Maybe next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
