Over the Christmas Holidays I got a little lost.
I tried to make merry, I tried to ho-ho-ho, I desperately tried to jingle all the way.
What I learned was that had I approached Christmas the way I go about celebrating Halloween I would have enjoyed the season a lot more.
I don’t mean that I should have put up a black Christmas tree and festooned it with bones, little severed body parts and Universal Monster ornaments, I mean that I should have gone into the winter holiday season with a touch of ice in my veins- it would have made the season meaningful and I wouldn’t have felt like the bastard child showing up uninvited to a family reunion where everyone wears matching t-shirts and they play games like capture the flag and run Egg and Spoon races.
I have a year to find the spirit- I just hope it wants to be found by someone like me.

Nice to see a different take on Christmas – I’m mystified by all the matching pajamas.
It’s a christmas mystery 🙂
Sounds like my kind of Christmas. My kids might not appreciate the darker spirit, but I’m game.
When my kids were young and I tried to keep things light and Merry, they sort of caught onto the vibe that I wasn’t really having a great time. So with them I could be a little dark and they were good with it. The rest of my family pretty much feels the same way as my kids did and I think they’re a little sad when they see me pull back, but it’s my choice and they respect that.
