I am not proud of it, but I’ve been feeling a bit Grinchy this Christmas.  I think I was pretty excited for Christmas last year and then when we surprised everyone by coming back to the States, well, that was just like icing on the figgy pudding.  But this year, gotta say, just not feelin’ it.  I read A Christmas Carol this week (probably one of the greatest stories ever written); I’ve watched a few Christmas movies; I’ve decorated and wrapped presents; I’ve tried my goshdarndest to get into the Spirit of the Season.  Nothin’ doin’.

I’ve still got a few more days to get into the groove I guess, maybe my heart will grow three sizes in two days or maybe Sarah will whack me in the head with a yule log.  I’m open to it if it works.  Or maybe it’s all just a big bah-humbug for me this year.  That’s OK.  I’m about ready to write-off ’07 as a bad experiment anyway.  I say just bring on the New Year!

(But I would recommend this Christmas album, A Winter’s Night.  If you like "modern" music with a touch of quirky, a smattering of Canadian artists, and a dab of traditional songs, you’ll probably like this album.  It’s worth a listen, eh?)
